1 answer

To calculate the total price for a 24 ounce package with a unit price of 13.5 cents per ounce, you can use the following formula:

\[ \text{Total Price} = \text{Unit Price} \times \text{Quantity} \]

First, convert the unit price from cents to dollars:

\[ 13.5 \text{ cents} = 0.135 \text{ dollars} \]

Now multiply the unit price by the quantity:

\[ \text{Total Price} = 0.135 \text{ dollars/ounce} \times 24 \text{ ounces} \]

\[ \text{Total Price} = 3.24 \text{ dollars} \]

Therefore, the total price for the 24 ounce package is $3.24.

The correct answer is d. $3.24.
