Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I calculate unit price?
- To calculate the unit price, divide the total price of the item by the total quantity (weight, volume, or count). This gives you the cost per a single unit, making it easy to compare different package sizes.
- Why is unit price important for shopping?
- Unit price allows you to accurately compare the value of products regardless of their packaging size. Retailers often price larger packs at a higher unit rate than smaller ones, so checking the unit price helps you find the true cheapest option.
- Can I compare different units like grams and kilograms?
- Yes, but you should convert them to the same unit first for an accurate comparison. For example, convert kilograms to grams (1kg = 1000g) before dividing by the price.
