Determine the unit rate: \( \$ 59.92 \) per 8 pounds \( \$ \square \) per pound

To find the unit rate in dollars per pound, you need to divide the total cost by the total weight in pounds. Given: - Total cost = \( \$ 59.92 \) - Total weight = 8 pounds The unit rate is calculated as follows: \[ \text{Unit rate} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total weight}} = \frac{59.92}{8} \] Now, performing the division: \[ \frac{59.92}{8} = 7.49 \] Thus, the unit rate is: \[ \$ 7.49 \text{ per pound} \] So, the answer is: \(\$ 7.49\) per pound.
