To find the cost of a 12-ounce cup of gourmet coffee based on the unit price of the 8-ounce cup, we first calculate the cost per ounce of the coffee.
1. **Find the cost per ounce**:
- The cost of the 8-ounce cup is $4.96.
- Cost per ounce = Total cost / Number of ounces
- Cost per ounce = $4.96 / 8 ounces = $0.62 per ounce.
2. **Find the cost of a 12-ounce cup**:
- Multiply the cost per ounce by the number of ounces in the desired cup.
- Cost for 12 ounces = Cost per ounce × Number of ounces
- Cost for 12 ounces = $0.62 × 12 ounces = $7.44.
Thus, a 12-ounce cup of gourmet coffee would cost **$7.44**.
1. **Find the cost per ounce**:
- The cost of the 8-ounce cup is $4.96.
- Cost per ounce = Total cost / Number of ounces
- Cost per ounce = $4.96 / 8 ounces = $0.62 per ounce.
2. **Find the cost of a 12-ounce cup**:
- Multiply the cost per ounce by the number of ounces in the desired cup.
- Cost for 12 ounces = Cost per ounce × Number of ounces
- Cost for 12 ounces = $0.62 × 12 ounces = $7.44.
Thus, a 12-ounce cup of gourmet coffee would cost **$7.44**.
