Concept:
The unitary approach or method is a strategy for problem-solving that involves first determining the value of a single unit, then multiplying that value to determine the required value.
An arithmetic value used to compute and represent a quantity is called a number.
Given:
A big pack has 12 packets of crisps. We buy n big packets of crisps.
Find:
The total number of crisps bought.
Solution:
There are 12 packets of crisps in a big packet.
The total number of n big packs are bought.
Using the unitary method,
1 big pack = 12 packets of crisps
n big packs of crisps = 12 x n of crisps = 12n packets of crisps.
Therefore, the total number of packets of crisps bought is 12n.
