At Family Market, an 8-can pack of bottles costs $4.48, and a 24-can case costs $9.60. (Both the bottle and the can are 12 ounces.) What is the unit price for each?
To find the unit price, we need to divide the cost by the number of units. Let's calculate the unit price for both the 8-can pack and the 24-can case.
For the 8-can pack:
- Cost: $4.48
- Number of units: 8 cans
Unit price = $4.48 / 8 cans = $0.56 per can
For the 24-can case:
- Cost: $9.60
- Number of units: 24 cans
Unit price = $9.60 / 24 cans = $0.40 per can
Therefore, the unit price for the 8-can pack is $0.56 per can, and the unit price for the 24-can case is $0.40 per can.
To find the unit price for each item, we need to divide the total cost by the number of units in each pack or case.
For the 8-can pack of bottles, the total cost is $4.48. Since there are 8 cans in a pack, we divide the total cost by 8:
Unit price for the 8-can pack of bottles = $4.48 / 8 = $0.56 per can.
For the 24-can case, the total cost is $9.60. Since there are 24 cans in a case, we divide the total cost by 24:
Unit price for the 24-can case = $9.60 / 24 = $0.40 per can.
Therefore, the unit price for the 8-can pack of bottles is $0.56 per can, and the unit price for the 24-can case is $0.40 per can.
To find the unit price for each, we need to determine the cost per ounce for both the 8-can pack of bottles and the 24-can case.
First, let's find the unit price for the 8-can pack of bottles:
The cost of an 8-can pack of bottles is $4.48, and each can contains 12 ounces.
So, the total number of ounces in the 8-can pack is 8 × 12 = 96 ounces.
Therefore, the unit price for each ounce of the 8-can pack of bottles is $4.48 / 96 = $0.0467 per ounce.
Next, let's find the unit price for the 24-can case:
The cost of the 24-can case is $9.60, and each can contains 12 ounces.
So, the total number of ounces in the 24-can case is 24 × 12 = 288 ounces.
Therefore, the unit price for each ounce of the 24-can case is $9.60 / 288 = $0.0333 per ounce.
Hence, the unit price for each ounce of the 8-can pack of bottles is $0.0467, and the unit price for each ounce of the 24-can case is $0.0333.
