The weekly ad for a local grocery store advertises a 5-pound bag of organic apples for $13.95 Round each rate to the nearest hundredth if needed. (a) Find both unit rates.
(b) Which unit rate is typically used? Explain.
Please keep the answers simple! Thank you!

a)

$2.79 per pound.

$0.93 per apple.

b)

Unit price per pound is typically used because weight and size of every      apple is not same.

Step-by-step explanation:

5 pound bag of organic apples = $13.95

1 pound bag of organic apples = $13.95/5

                                                  = $2.79

The unit price of apples that cost $13.95 for 5 pounds is $12.79 per pound.

As a general rule, 1 pound of apples is equal to: 4 small apples. 3 medium apples. 2 large apples. So, here we assume that apples are of medium size.

3 apples cost = $2.79

The unit price means 'what is the cost of 1 apple'

1 apple cost    =$2.79/3

                      =$0.93

The unit price of apples that cost $2.79 for 3apples is $0.93 per apple.

NOW THATS ALOT OF DAMAGE

arrange the equations with like terms in columns.

analyze the coefficients of x or y.

add the equations and solve for the remaining variable.

substitute the value into either equation and solve.

check the solution.
