A 2-cup bottle of lotion costs $52.16. What is the price per fluid ounce?

$

Answer 1

To find the price per fluid ounce, we first need to know the number of fluid ounces in 2 cups. There are 8 fluid ounces in 1 cup, so:

\[
2 \text{ cups} = 2 \times 8 \text{ fluid ounces} = 16 \text{ fluid ounces}
\]

Now, we divide the total cost of the lotion by the total number of fluid ounces:

\[
\text{Price per fluid ounce} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total fluid ounces}} = \frac{52.16}{16}
\]

Calculating this:

\[
\frac{52.16}{16} = 3.26
\]

Thus, the price per fluid ounce is:

\[
\boxed{3.26}
\]
