unit rate
Single-item price ratio
A unit rate expresses a quantity in relation to a single unit of something else—miles per hour, dollars per pound, calories per serving.
The "per one" structure makes comparison easy: if apples cost $2.50 per pound and oranges $3.00 per pound, you can judge value directly.
