At Family Market, an 8-can pack of bottles costs $4.48, and a 24-can case costs $9.60. (Both the bottle and the can are 12 ounces.) What is the unit price for each?

Answer 1

To find the unit price for each, we need to determine the cost per ounce for both the 8-can pack of bottles and the 24-can case.

First, let's find the unit price for the 8-can pack of bottles:
The cost of an 8-can pack of bottles is $4.48, and each can contains 12 ounces.
So, the total number of ounces in the 8-can pack is 8 × 12 = 96 ounces.
Therefore, the unit price for each ounce of the 8-can pack of bottles is $4.48 / 96 = $0.0467 per ounce.

Next, let's find the unit price for the 24-can case:
The cost of the 24-can case is $9.60, and each can contains 12 ounces.
So, the total number of ounces in the 24-can case is 24 × 12 = 288 ounces.
Therefore, the unit price for each ounce of the 24-can case is $9.60 / 288 = $0.0333 per ounce.

Hence, the unit price for each ounce of the 8-can pack of bottles is $0.0467, and the unit price for each ounce of the 24-can case is $0.0333.
