Question

What is the unit price for an ounce of coffee if a 120-ounce package costs $9.60?
$0.08 per ounce
$0.80 per ounce
$1.25 per ounce
$110.40 per ounce

Answer 1

To find the unit price per ounce of coffee, you can divide the total cost of the package by the total number of ounces:

\[
\text{Unit Price} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Total Ounces}}
\]

In this case, the total cost is $9.60 and the total ounces is 120:

\[
\text{Unit Price} = \frac{9.60}{120}
\]

Calculating that gives:

\[
\text{Unit Price} = 0.08
\]

So, the unit price for an ounce of coffee is **$0.08 per ounce**.
