To find the cost per ounce for each box, we divide the total cost by the number of ounces.
Cost per ounce for the 6-ounce box:
$0.90 / 6 oz = $0.15/oz
Cost per ounce for the 3-ounce box:
$0.42 / 3 oz = $0.14/oz
The difference in cost per ounce between the larger and smaller boxes is:
$0.15/oz - $0.14/oz = $0.01/oz
Therefore, the difference in cost per ounce between the larger and smaller boxes is $0.01.
A 6-ounce box of strawberry gelatin costs $0.90 and a 3-ounce box costs $0.42.
What is the difference in cost per ounce between the larger and the smaller boxes?
