To find the unit cost, we need to divide the total cost by the total number of units. In this case, the total cost is $0.99 and the total number of units is 16 2/5 ounces.
First, we need to convert the mixed number, 16 2/5, into an improper fraction. To do this, we multiply the whole number 16 by the denominator 5, which gives us 80. Then we add the numerator 2 to get 82. So, 16 2/5 is equivalent to 82/5.
Next, we divide the total cost $0.99 by the total number of units 82/5. To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction (the dividend) by the reciprocal of the second fraction (the divisor). The reciprocal of 82/5 is 5/82.
$0.99 * (5/82) = $0.0603
Rounding this result to two decimal places, the unit cost is approximately $0.06 per ounce.
Therefore, the correct answer choice is D. $0.06 per ounce.
