The food with the lowest unit price is the hot dog.

We can calculate the unit price of the hotdog by dividing the cost by the number of hot dogs:

#color(white)=($10.92)/6#

#= $1.82#

We can also calculate the unit price of the hamburger in the same way:

#color(white)=($9.50)/5#

#= $1.90#

Thus we can see that the hot dog is cheaper than the hamburger by #$0.08#.

Hope this helps!
