Answer:
The correct unit price is $1.16 per pair.
The contractor calculated the unit price in terms of per dozen.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Cost of 5 dozen pairs = $69.60
Unit price per dozen = [tex]\frac{69.60}{5} =\$13.92[/tex]
Unit price means the price of one pair of padded work gloves, so we will convert dozens into unit.
1 dozen = 12 pairs
5 dozen = 60 pairs
Unit price = [tex]\frac{69.60}{60}[/tex]
Unit price = $1.16 per pair
Hence,
The correct unit price is $1.16 per pair.
The contractor calculated the unit price in terms of per dozen.
