How can you calculate the unit price of a product?

• A. Divide price by number of units
• B. Add tax
• C. Subtract discount
• D. Multiply price by number of units

Answer: (D)

Unit price is the cost for one unit of a product. To find it, divide the total price by how many units you receive. For example, if 6 pencils cost $3, the unit price is $3 ÷ 6 = $0.50 per pencil. Adding tax or subtracting a discount changes the total you pay, but the per-unit cost is found by the division above. Multiplying the price by the number of units would give the total cost for all those units, not the cost per single unit.
