$1.79/bottle and $2.53/can
$1.79/bottle and $2.53/can
0.56 bottle/$1.00 and 0.40 can/$1.00
0.56 bottle/$1.00 and 0.40 can/$1.00
1.79 bottles/$1.00 and 2.53 cans/$1.00
$0.56/bottle and $0.40/can
To find the unit price for each, we need to divide the cost by the number of units.
For the 8-can pack of bottles, the cost is $4.48 and there are 8 cans. Therefore, the unit price is $4.48/8 = $0.56/bottle.
For the 24-can case, the cost is $9.60 and there are 24 cans. Therefore, the unit price is $9.60/24 = $0.40/can.
So, the correct answer is:
$0.56/bottle and $0.40/can
To find the unit price for each, we need to divide the total cost by the number of units.
For the 8-can pack of bottles that costs $4.48, we divide the total cost by the number of units (8 cans) to get the unit price per can. So $4.48 divided by 8 is $0.56.
For the 24-can case that costs $9.60, we divide the total cost by the number of units (24 cans) to get the unit price per can. So $9.60 divided by 24 is $0.40.
Therefore, the unit price for each is $0.56 per bottle and $0.40 per can.
