To find the price per fluid ounce of the window cleaner, we first need to convert the volume from quarts to fluid ounces.
1 quart is equivalent to 32 fluid ounces. Therefore, a 3-quart container is:
\[
3 \, \text{quarts} \times 32 \, \frac{\text{fluid ounces}}{\text{quart}} = 96 \, \text{fluid ounces}
\]
Next, we have the total cost of the 3-quart container, which is $11.52. To find the price per fluid ounce, we divide the total cost by the number of fluid ounces:
\[
\text{Price per fluid ounce} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total fluid ounces}} = \frac{11.52}{96}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
\frac{11.52}{96} = 0.12
\]
Thus, the price per fluid ounce is
\[
\boxed{0.12}
\]
