A contractor purchases 4 dozen pairs of padded work gloves for $56.16. She incorrectly calculates the unit price as $14.04 per pair for the expense report. What is the correct unit price? What is the error? Why is the contractor's unit price incorrect?

The correct unit price is $1.17 per pair of gloves. The error is she used number of dozens so, firstly convert it to number of pairs of gloves then divide.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given 4 dozen pairs of gloves for $56.16.

So, unit price = Divide the price by number of pairs of gloves.

Unit price =

So, the error is she didn't convert the dozen to units.

That made mistake in finding unit price.
