Find the unit price of each of the following items. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
instant coffee
12oz at $3.56
8oz at $2.77
unit price for 12oz at $3.56 = 3.56/12 $/ounce = ....
unit price for 8oz at $2.77 = ......
12oz at $3.92
To find the unit price of each item, you need to divide the total price by the number of units. In this case, we have two different items: instant coffee in a 12oz container and instant coffee in an 8oz container.
Let's start with the first item:
- Instant coffee in a 12oz container for $3.56.
To find the unit price, divide the total price by the number of units:
Unit price = Total price / Number of units
In this case, the total price is $3.56, and the number of units is 12oz.
Unit price = $3.56 / 12oz
To round the answer to the nearest tenth, we'll keep one decimal place.
Unit price ≈ $0.2967 ≈ $0.3 (rounded to the nearest tenth)
Therefore, the unit price of instant coffee in a 12oz container is approximately $0.3 per ounce.
Moving on to the second item:
- Instant coffee in an 8oz container for $2.77.
Again, divide the total price by the number of units:
Unit price = Total price / Number of units
In this case, the total price is $2.77, and the number of units is 8oz.
Unit price = $2.77 / 8oz
To round the answer to the nearest tenth, we'll keep one decimal place.
Unit price ≈ $0.3463 ≈ $0.3 (rounded to the nearest tenth)
Therefore, the unit price of instant coffee in an 8oz container is approximately $0.3 per ounce.
