What is referred as the unitary method?

  • The unitary method is a process that determines the value of a specific unit from the value of multiple units, as well as the value of multiple units from of the value of a single unit.
  • We must first divide to find the value of one thing, and then multiply to determine the value of much more or fewer things.

Now, for the given question;

The cost of 3 pounds of shrimp at Earl's shrimp hut = $38.25.

3 pounds   ---------> $38.25

Divide both sides by 3.

1 pound ------------>$12.75

Multiply 12 on both side;

12 pounds -------------> $153.

The cost of 4 pounds of shrimp at shrimpie's for 50.00.

4 pounds   ---------> $50.00.

Divide both sides by 4.

1 pound ------------>$12.5

Multiply 12 on both side;

12 pounds -------------> $150.

Cost difference  =  Earl's shrimp hut - shrimpie

Cost difference  = $153 - $150 = $3.

Therefore, Mr. Alfonso will save $3 from the purchase of 12 pounds of shrimp from shrimpies.
