As per the title, if I'm in a grocery store and there is a basket of 10 apples and a sign that simply says $1, that might mean $1 per apple or $1 for the whole basket. Is there a single word that describes the representation of that price.

I'm thinking along the lines of words like "cardinality" or "plurality", but neither of those are correct for this example.

Edit: I should elaborate, I am putting data in a table and one of the columns is that question, so I'm looking for a header for the column
