You can put this solution on YOUR website!

This is fairly standard for items sold in stores.
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can think about it as PRICE per UNIT.
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This can be represented as \"%28PRICE%29%2F%28UNIT%29\"
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In words, you want the total price of the \"stuff,\"
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "divided by the total amount of items of that \"stuff.\"
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, in your case, we have:
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"PPU=20%2F4\"
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"PPU=5\" dollars
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So our unit rate (or the price for 1 single item) is simply 5 dollars each,
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "or a unit rate of 5 dollars.
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I hope this helps! Keep practicing! :)
