Shouldn the UnitPrice column be Price / Quantity?

• No, and here’s why not. Price is the amount on the item’s price tag, and Quantity is the number of items you want to buy. For example, an 8-pack of batteries might cost 4.99, and you might want to buy 1 of them. So the Price is 4.99, the Quantity is 1, the Units is “8-pack”. The UnitPrice is intended to show you the price of one unit (one battery, in this case). It’s not possible to find the price of one battery by dividing the Price (4.99) by the Quantity (1). You get the price of one battery by dividing the Price (4.99) by the number of units (the 8 from “8-pack”).
