I agree with @Shital.
Because in order to calculate anything so precise such as lowest average unit, we need to have full information about the entire set, which, in this case, do not have.

Let's suppose a company has manufactured 100 PCs (say).
We do not know how many out of 100 are sold and at what price.
Therefore, we cannot determine the average unit sales price.

Yes, the answer can easily determine because it was given there in percentage (8%...).
We only have found out 8% of the total price amount.
Please correct the above answer.

We can find individual unit sale price of company by given values (total units and total values) I don't understand why value is undetermined.

I think as question 4 we can find the avg unit sales value for each company then we can compare them which one is lowest. Am I right?

What's meant by "value", isn't value the price amount, like a monetary valuation of the companies? Anyone explain me.

At first, I went to Commodore, but once, reading Varun comment, I got it. Just tricky with the word "others".

Do not understand why it cannot be determined? Price of a single unit can be easily determined and compare.
