What does Charge Per Unit really mean?

Alright, so "charge per unit" is a term that we use to talk about how much something costs for one of whatever it is. For example, if we're talking about electricity, the charge per unit would be how much you have to pay for every unit of electricity you use. The unit could be something like kilowatt-hour.

Think of it like this: if you're buying apples at the grocery store, the charge per unit would be the price for one apple. If you buy 5 apples, the total price would be the charge per unit multiplied by 5.

So, when we're talking about "charge per unit" in school or on a test, we're usually looking at how much something costs for just one of it, and then we can use that to figure out how much it would be for different amounts of it.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
