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?
A. $1.79/bottle and $2.53/can
B. $0.56/bottle and $0.40/can
C. 0.56 bottle/$1.00 and 0.40 can/$1.00
D. 1.79 bottles/$1.00 and 2.53 cans/$1.00
To find the unit price, we divide the total cost by the number of units.
For the 8-can pack:
Unit price = $4.48 / 8 cans = $0.56/can
For the 24-can case:
Unit price = $9.60 / 24 cans = $0.40/can
Therefore, the correct answer is option B. $0.56/bottle and $0.40/can.
To determine the unit price for each, we need to divide the total price by the number of units.
For the 8-can pack of bottles:
Unit price = Total price / Number of units
Unit price = $4.48 / 8 = $0.56/can
For the 24-can case:
Unit price = Total price / Number of units
Unit price = $9.60 / 24 = $0.40/can
Therefore, the unit price for each is:
A. $1.79/bottle and $2.53/can ❌
B. $0.56/bottle and $0.40/can ✅
C. 0.56 bottle/$1.00 and 0.40 can/$1.00 ❌
D. 1.79 bottles/$1.00 and 2.53 cans/$1.00 ❌
So, the correct answer is B. $0.56/bottle and $0.40/can.
To find the unit price, we need to divide the total price by the number of units in each package.
For the 8-can pack of bottles that costs $4.48, we divide the total price ($4.48) by the number of units (8 cans) to get the unit price for each can: $4.48 / 8 = $0.56/can.
For the 24-can case that costs $9.60, we divide the total price ($9.60) by the number of units (24 cans) to get the unit price for each can: $9.60 / 24 = $0.40/can.
Therefore, the unit price for each can is $0.56 and the unit price for each bottle is $0.40.
The correct answer is option B. $0.56/bottle and $0.40/can.
