Type the price per unit in blanks a and b, and place an x by the best buy.
Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cent.
a. Tomato juice, 48 oz. can for $2.49 would = ______¢ per oz.
b. Tomato juice, 6-pack of 10 oz. cans for $3.99 would = _______¢ per oz.

I did try and I got it wrong I put
a. Tomato juice, 48 oz. can for $2.49 would = 0.05 ¢ per oz.
b. Tomato juice, 6-pack of 10 oz. cans for $3.99 would = 0.07 ¢ per oz.
c. The best buy would be:
a. X
b.
Do you know what I missed?
You need to give it a try, and I will check you.
for example: google 399/(60)=
To find the price per unit in cents (¢), we need to divide the total cost by the total number of units.
a. For the first scenario, we have a 48 oz. can of tomato juice for $2.49. To find the price per oz, we divide the total cost by the number of oz:
Price per oz = Total Cost / Total Oz
Price per oz = $2.49 / 48
To round the answer to the nearest tenth of a cent, we evaluate the result and round it to the nearest tenth.
b. For the second scenario, we have a 6-pack of 10 oz. cans of tomato juice for $3.99. To find the price per oz, we divide the total cost by the total number of oz:
Price per oz = Total Cost / Total Oz
Price per oz = $3.99 / (6 * 10)
Again, we round the answer to the nearest tenth of a cent.
To determine the best buy, we compare the price per oz for options a and b. The option with the lower price per oz will be marked with an "x."
So, once you fill in the blanks and calculate the price per oz for options a and b, you can compare them to determine the best buy.
