Hello my wonderful Grade 5 superstar! 👋
I'm Kashef and today we're learning about Unit Pricing! Unit price tells you how much one item or one gram or one millilitre costs. It helps you compare which package gives you the most for your money. Ready to become a value detective? Let’s go! 🚀
📏 What is Unit Pricing?
Unit price = Total price ÷ Number of units
Big bag of chips: $4.50 for 450g
Unit price = $4.50 ÷ 450 = $0.01 per gram
🔍 Comparing Unit Prices
Small pack: $2.00 for 150g → $0.0133 per gram
Big pack: $4.50 for 450g → $0.01 per gram
Best value = Big pack! You get more chips for each dollar.
