Jaimie paid $126 for 42 pretzels. He incorrectly calculates the rate per pretzel to be $84 per pretzel. Which statement identifies the error Jaimie most likely made in determining the rate per pretzel and describes the correct method for determining the rate per pretzel?

Respuesta :

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To determine the rate per pretzel or unit rate, divide the total paid by the number of pretzel

so

[tex]\frac{126}{42}=\$3\ per\ pretzel[/tex]

Jaimie's error

He subtracted 42 from $126 when he should have divided $126 by 42
