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?

Question

A: $0.56/bottle and $0.40/can
B: 0.56 bottle/$1.00 and 0.40 can/$1.00
C: 1.79/bottle and $2.53/can
D: 1.79 bottles/$1.00 and 2.53/cans/1.00$

Answer 1

To find the unit price for each item, we need to divide the total cost by the number of units.

For the 8-can pack of bottles:
Unit price per bottle = Total cost / Number of bottles = $4.48 / 8 = $0.56/bottle

For the 24-can case:
Unit price per can = Total cost / Number of cans = $9.60 / 24 = $0.40/can

Therefore, the correct answer is A: $0.56/bottle and $0.40/can.
