Answer: 0.49 dollars, which is equivalent to 49 cents
==========================================================
Work Shown:
Divide the total cost over the number of items to get the unit cost
unit cost = (total cost)/(number of items)
unit cost = (1.47)/(3)
unit cost = 0.49 dollars
unit cost = 49 cents
---------------------------
Another approach:
3 oranges = 1.47 dollars
3/3 oranges = 1.47/3 dollars
1 orange = 0.49 dollars
1 orange = 49 cents
The unit cost is the cost of 1 item, so the the unit cost is 49 cents per orange.
