The difference between the retail and wholesale unit price is $ 0.99.

What is retail price?

The retail price is the price that the item is sold for to the customer.

Here,

Coordinates extracted from the graph;

(4, 1)     (12, 3)

Equation of straight line (Whole sale price)

(y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)                  

where, m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

then, m = (3-1) / (12-4)

            = 2/8

           = 1/4

Now,   (y - 1) = 1/4 (x - 4)

           4y - 4 = x - 4

            x = 4y

            x - 4y = 0

Now, whole sale price for 24 boxes; x = 24

           24 - 4y = 0

            4y = 24

             y = 24/4

             y = 6

The wholesale price = $ 6

The retail price = $ 6.99

The difference between retail and wholesale = Retail - Wholesale

                                                                            = 6.99 - 6

                                                                            = $ 0.99

Thus, the difference between the retail and wholesale unit price is $ 0.99.
