How to Find the Unit Price

To find the unit price of an item, follow these steps:

1. Identify the Total Cost: Determine the total cost of the item or items you are purchasing. This is usually the price you see on the label or receipt.
2. Determine the Quantity: Find out the quantity of the item. This could be the number of units, weight, volume, or any other measurement.
3. Calculate the Unit Price: Divide the total cost by the quantity to get the unit price. The formula is:

   Unit Price = Total Cost / Quantity

For example, if you buy a pack of 10 pens for $20, the unit price would be:

Unit Price = $20 / 10 = $2 per pen

This calculation helps you compare prices effectively and make informed purchasing decisions.
