unit prices
Cost per quantity
Unit prices express cost per standardized measure—per ounce, per gallon, per square foot.
Grocery stores display unit prices on shelf tags to help shoppers compare products of different sizes: The larger box looks cheaper, but check the unit price.
The calculation divides total price by quantity, revealing which option offers better value.
