So, to find the unit price, we divide the given price by the number of napkins. In fractional form, $0.59100 napkins Let&#039;s divide 0.59 by 100:0.59÷100=0.0059 Rounding 0.0059 to 3 decimal places, we get 0.006. Thus, unit price is $0.0061 napkin. The above unit price can be written as $0.006/napkin which is read as $0.006 per napkin. The second rate of packet of napkins is 180 for $0.93. In this case, the number of units is 180. So, to find the unit price, we divide the given price by the number of napkins. In fractional form, $0.93180 napkins Let&#039;s divide 0.93 by 180:0.93÷180=0.00516…≈0.005(rounding to 3 decimal places), Thus, unit price is $0.0051 napkin. The above unit price can be written as $0.005/napkin which is read as $0.005 per napkin. Since the package of 180 has a cheaper price per napkin, it is the better buy. FInal solution: The unit price of 100 for $0.59=$0.006napkin The unit price of 180 for $0.93=$0.005napkin The package 180 napkins are a better buy.
