💡 How to solve: Decimal Word Problems
Plan before you calculate: write what you know, what you need, and the steps. Unit price = total cost ÷ amount, so a 2.5 kg bag for $8.75 costs 8.75 ÷ 2.5 = $3.50 per kg; the lower unit price is the better buy. To divide by a decimal, move both decimal points until the divisor is a whole number (8.75 ÷ 2.5 = 87.5 ÷ 25). The mean is the total divided by how many numbers there are. To round to the nearest cent, look at the thousandths digit: 15.228 → 15.23.
