Unit Rates

1. Price per unit formula:

Price per unit = Total cost / Total units

Example: If 5 bags of apples cost $15, then the price per bag of apples would be$15 / 5 = $3 per bag.

2. Speed formula

Speed = Distance / Time

Example: If a car travels 240 miles in 4 hours, the speed of the car would be 240 miles / 4 hours = 60 miles per hour.

3. Rate of pay formula

Rate of pay = Total earnings / Total hours worked

Example: If a worker earns $250 for working 10 hours, then the rate of pay would be$250 / 10 hours = $25 per hour.
