The correct unit price is $30\$30 per flashlight.
To find the unit price, the total cost must be divided by the total number of individual items. First, convert 22 dozen into a specific quantity by multiplying by 1212, yielding 2424 flashlights. Then, divide the total cost of $720\$720 by 2424, which equals $30\$30 per flashlight.
