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?(1 point)
Responses
1.79 bottles/$1.00 and 2.53 cans/$1.00
1.79 bottles/$1.00 and 2.53 cans/$1.00
0.56 bottle/$1.00 and 0.40 can/$1.00
0.56 bottle/$1.00 and 0.40 can/$1.00
$0.56/bottle and $0.40/can
$0.56/bottle and $0.40/can
$1.79/bottle and $2.53/can
To find the unit price for each, we divide the total cost by the number of units.
For the 8-can pack of bottles:
Unit price = total cost / number of cans
Unit price = $4.48 / 8 cans
For the 24-can case:
Unit price = total cost / number of cans
Unit price = $9.60 / 24 cans
Simplifying these calculations, we get:
Unit price for the 8-can pack of bottles: $0.56/bottle
Unit price for the 24-can case: $0.40/can
Therefore, the correct answer is:
$0.56/bottle and $0.40/can
$0.56/bottle and $0.40/can
To find the unit price for each item, we need to divide the total cost by the number of items.
For the bottles:
The 8-can pack costs $4.48, so each bottle in the pack would cost $4.48/8 = $0.56. Therefore, the unit price for each bottle is $0.56.
For the cans:
The 24-can case costs $9.60, so each can in the case would cost $9.60/24 = $0.40. Therefore, the unit price for each can is $0.40.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
$0.56/bottle and $0.40/can
