Jeff's unit rate is lower. It is $1,200 per year.C. Daniel's unit rate is lower. It is $1,200 per year.D. Jeff's unit rate is lower. It is $1,150 per year.E. Jeff and Daniel have the same unit rate. It is $1,150 per year.

Accepted Solution

A:
To find the unit rate, we want to find how much Daniel and Jeff each pay for insurance (for every 1 year, hence the "unit rate"). To find that, we divide the payment by the amount of years. For Daniel, his unit rate is 1,150 dollars per year. For Jeff, we have 1200/1=1200, 7200/6=1200, and 10800/9=1200, making his unit rate 1,200 dollars per year. To find which rate is higher, we go by number.

1,150
1,200
Since 1=1, we can't figure out which is higher by that. Going to the next number, we know that 2 is greater than 1, so Jeff's annual premium is greater than Daniel's, which is 1,150 dollars per year. Your answer is A.
