Answer 1

To calculate the unit price for each pack size, we need to divide the total cost by the number of cans in each pack.

1. For the 8-can pack:

   • Total cost: $4.48
   • Number of cans: 8

   Unit price per can: \[ \text{Unit price} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of cans}} = \frac{4.48}{8} = 0.56 \text{ per can} \]

2. For the 24-can case:

   • Total cost: $9.60
   • Number of cans: 24

   Unit price per can: \[ \text{Unit price} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of cans}} = \frac{9.60}{24} = 0.40 \text{ per can} \]

The unit prices are:

• 8-can pack: $0.56 per can
• 24-can case: $0.40 per can

Thus, the correct unit prices are $0.56/bottle and $0.40/can.
