To find the unit price per ounce of coffee, you can divide the total cost of the package by the total number of ounces:

\[ \text{Unit Price} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Total Ounces}} \]

In this case, the total cost is $9.60 and the total ounces is 120:

\[ \text{Unit Price} = \frac{9.60}{120} \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ \text{Unit Price} = 0.08 \]

So, the unit price for an ounce of coffee is $0.08 per ounce.
