How is the unit price calculated?

The unit price is calculated by dividing the total price by the number of items. This computation gives you the price of a single unit of the item, which is essential for comparing costs between different products or quantities. Understanding unit pricing helps consumers make informed purchasing decisions, especially when considering bulk buying or evaluating value.

For example, if a pack of 5 apples costs $3, the unit price would be calculated as $3 divided by 5, resulting in a unit price of $0.60 per apple. This method allows for easy price comparison against other packs or products with different quantities or total prices.
