Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows Quadrant 1 of a coordinate plane. The x-axis is labeled Ounces and ranges from 0 to 40 in 5 unit increments. The y-axis is labeled Cost in dollars and ranges from from 0.00 to 4.00 in increments of 0.50. The graph is titled Cost per Ounce. A line connects four points plotted on the graph. The coordinates of the plotted points are left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 8 comma 0.80 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 15 comma 1.50 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 30 comma 3.00 right parenthesis.

To determine the unit rate of the proportional relationship from the graph, we need to look at the cost per ounce.

From the points plotted:

At $ (8, 0.80) $: Cost = $0.80 for 8 ounces. To find the cost per ounce, divide $ 0.80 $ by $ 8 $: \[\frac{0.80}{8} = 0.10\]
At $ (15, 1.50) $: Cost = $1.50 for 15 ounces. To find the cost per ounce, divide $ 1.50 $ by $ 15 $: \[\frac{1.50}{15} = 0.10\]
At $ (30, 3.00) $: Cost = $3.00 for 30 ounces. To find the cost per ounce, divide $ 3.00 $ by $ 30 $: \[\frac{3.00}{30} = 0.10\]

In each case, the unit rate (cost per ounce) is consistently $ 0.10 $.

Therefore, the correct response is:

Canned peas cost $0.10 per ounce.
