Enter you answer rounded to the nearest cent.

Question 2 options:

$0.28


$0.29


$169.16


$3.46

Answer 1

To find the unit rate of the coffee, you need to divide the total cost by the total ounces:

\[
\text{Unit Rate} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Total Ounces}} = \frac{6.99}{24.2}
\]

Now, calculate the unit rate:

\[
\text{Unit Rate} \approx \frac{6.99}{24.2} \approx 0.288
\]

Rounding this to the nearest cent gives approximately $0.29.

So, the answer is:

**$0.29**
