The unit cost is found by dividing the total cost by the number of units. In this case, the unit is ounces.
Unit cost = total cost / number of units
Unit cost = $3.20 / 48 oz
Unit cost = $0.067 per ounce
Rounding to two decimal places, the unit cost is approximately $0.07.
Therefore, the answer is (d) $0.07.
