boxed lunches ordered
answer
point c means that the unit rate is 8 lunches per dollar
point a means that the unit rate is 11 lunches per dollar
point a means that the unit rate is $11.00 per lunch
point c means that the unit rate is $88.00 per lunch

Explanation:

Step1: Understand unit rate concept

Unit rate is cost per lunch (total cost divided by number of lunches).
For point \(A\): \(x = 1\) (1 lunch), \(y=11\) (cost \(\$11\)). Unit rate \(=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{11}{1}=\$11\) per lunch.
For point \(C\): \(x = 8\) (8 lunches), \(y = 88\) (cost \(\$88\)). Unit rate \(=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{88}{8}=\$11\) per lunch.

Answer:

Point A means that the unit rate is \(\$11.00\) per lunch.
