Frequently asked questions
Does the order of the two inputs matter? Yes, entering total quantity divided by number of units gives cost or amount per unit, while swapping them would instead give units per single quantity, so the fields aren't interchangeable.
Can I use this for speed (miles per hour), not just price? Yes, unit rate is a general concept — total quantity could be distance and number of units could be hours, giving miles per hour just as easily as price per item.
