To find the unit cost of an apple from the table, we need to calculate the cost per apple by dividing the total cost by the number of apples.

From the table:

• The total cost for 4 apples is $3.84.
• The total cost for 7 apples is $6.72.

Let's find the cost per apple (unit cost) using these values.

1. For 4 apples: $\text{Unit Cost} = \frac{3.84}{4} = 0.96 \, \text{dollars per apple}$

2. For 7 apples: $\text{Unit Cost} = \frac{6.72}{7} = 0.96 \, \text{dollars per apple}$

The unit cost for both cases is the same: $0.96 per apple.

Here are 5 related questions for practice:

1. How would the unit cost change if 10 apples cost $9.60?
2. If the cost for 3 apples is $2.88, is the unit cost still the same?
3. How do you calculate the total cost if you know the unit cost and the number of apples?
4. What is the total cost for 12 apples if the unit cost is $0.96?
5. How can the unit cost help in comparing the prices of different fruit?

Tip: Always double-check by dividing different quantities to ensure the unit cost remains consistent across the data points.
