Question

Tony was asked to bring root beer for root beer floats to the end of year class party. He is only given so much money for his budget. He finds a 64 oz. bottle for $3.20. What is the unit rate price per ounce?
$1.00
$0.50
$5.00
$0.05

Answer 1

To find the unit rate price per ounce, you need to divide the total price by the total ounces in the bottle.

Tony has a 64 oz. bottle priced at $3.20.

The unit rate price per ounce can be calculated as follows:

\[
\text{Price per ounce} = \frac{\text{Total Price}}{\text{Total Ounces}} = \frac{3.20}{64}
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
\text{Price per ounce} = \frac{3.20}{64} = 0.05
\]

Therefore, the unit rate price per ounce is **$0.05**.
