QuestionDevon has a 6-pack of drinks for \$2.99. Is the price per drink over \$2.00? Calculate to check.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The price for a6-pack of drinks is $.99. We need to find the unit price, i.e., the price per drink

STEP 2

To find the unit price, we need to divide the total price by the number of units (drinks in this case).
$Unit\, price = Total\, price / Number\, of\, units$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the total price and the number of units to calculate the unit price.
$Unit\, price = \$2.99 /6$

STEP 4

Calculate the unit price.
$Unit\, price = \$2.99 /6 = \$0.4983$ So, each drink costs approximately $0.50.

STEP 5

Now, let's compare this with the price Devon's sister suggested. She said each drink would cost just over $2.00. However, we calculated that each drink costs approximately$ 0.50. Therefore, Devon's sister is incorrect.
To find the correct price, Devon's sister should divide the total price by the number of units, as we did in2.
