Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. The total cost is $9.60.
2. The total weight is 4 pounds.
3. The unit rate is the cost per one pound.

STEP 2

To find the unit rate, we need to divide the total cost by the total weight in pounds.
$Unit\, rate = \frac{Total\, cost}{Total\, weight}$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the total cost and total weight to calculate the unit rate.
$Unit\, rate = \frac{\$9.60}{4\, pounds}$

STEP 4

Calculate the unit rate by performing the division.
$Unit\, rate = \frac{\$9.60}{4} = \$2.40\, per\, pound$
The unit rate is $2.40 per pound.
