Unit Rate / Price Per Unit
$
A unit rate expresses a ratio with a denominator of 1 — the rate per single unit. Examples: miles per hour, price per pound, steps per minute. Unit rates allow direct comparison between different quantities.
💡
Pro Tip
Supermarket unit pricing (price per ounce/gram) is posted on shelf labels for exactly this reason — it makes comparison shopping trivial. Generic brands often have a lower unit price even when the package costs more.
