To determine the unit price for each soda in the packs, divide the total price of each package by the number of sodas it contains.

  1. 6-pack for $2.99: \[ \text{Unit price} = \frac{2.99}{6} \approx 0.4983 \] Rounding to the hundredths place, the unit price is $0.50 per soda.

  2. 12-pack for $3.99: \[ \text{Unit price} = \frac{3.99}{12} \approx 0.3325 \] Rounding to the hundredths place, the unit price is $0.33 per soda.

  3. 24-pack for $5.99: \[ \text{Unit price} = \frac{5.99}{24} \approx 0.2496 \] Rounding to the hundredths place, the unit price is $0.25 per soda.

Summary:

  • 6-pack: $0.50 per soda.
  • 12-pack: $0.33 per soda.
  • 24-pack: $0.25 per soda.

Question 2

To determine which package has the best unit price, we compare the unit prices calculated above.

  • 6-pack: $0.50
  • 12-pack: $0.33
  • 24-pack: $0.25

The package with the best unit price is the 24-pack, since it has the lowest unit price of $0.25 per soda.
