To find the price per fluid ounce, we first need to convert the volume of the carton from cups to fluid ounces.
1. There are 8 fluid ounces in 1 cup.
2. Therefore, for a 7-cup carton:
\[
7 \text{ cups} \times 8 \text{ fluid ounces per cup} = 56 \text{ fluid ounces}
\]
Next, we have the total cost of the carton, which is $3.36.
3. Now we can calculate the price per fluid ounce:
\[
\text{Price per fluid ounce} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total fluid ounces}} = \frac{3.36}{56}
\]
4. Performing the division:
\[
\frac{3.36}{56} = 0.06
\]
Thus, the price per fluid ounce is **$0.06** or **6 cents**.
