b.
$0.08
c.
$0.79
d.
$1.19

Answer 1

To find the unit price per can of peas, we can follow these steps:

1. Calculate the cost per can: \[ \text{Cost per can} = \frac{\text{Total cost of case}}{\text{Number of cans in a case}} = \frac{14.22}{18} \]

2. Performing the division: \[ \text{Cost per can} = \frac{14.22}{18} \approx 0.79 \]

The unit price per can of peas is approximately $0.79.

Thus, the correct answer is: c. $0.79
