Question

A 12-ounce bottle of hand lotion costs $2.99. What is the unit
price?
a. $.l9
b. $.30
c. $2.99
d. $.25

Answer 1

d. $.25 (Unit price is the cost per unit of measure, which in this case is the cost per ounce. Therefore, we need to divide $2.99 by the number of ounces in a 12-ounce bottle, which is 12. $2.99 ÷ 12 = $.25)
