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: $0.56/bottle and $0.40/can
B: 0.56 bottle/$1.00 and 0.40 can/$1.00
C: 1.79/bottle and $2.53/can
D: 1.79 bottles/$1.00 and 2.53/cans/1.00$
To find the unit price for each item, we need to divide the total cost by the number of units.
For the 8-can pack of bottles:
Unit price per bottle = Total cost / Number of bottles = $4.48 / 8 = $0.56/bottle
For the 24-can case:
Unit price per can = Total cost / Number of cans = $9.60 / 24 = $0.40/can
Therefore, the correct answer is A: $0.56/bottle and $0.40/can.
To find the unit price for each, we need to divide the total price by the number of units. Let's calculate the unit prices:
For the 8-can pack of bottles:
Unit price = Total price / Number of units
Unit price = $4.48 / 8 cans
Unit price = $0.56/can
For the 24-can case:
Unit price = Total price / Number of units
Unit price = $9.60 / 24 cans
Unit price = $0.40/can
So, the correct answer is:
A: $0.56/bottle and $0.40/can
To find the unit price, we need to divide the total cost by the total quantity.
For the 8-can pack of bottles:
Cost = $4.48
Quantity = 8 cans
So, the unit price for one can would be $4.48 divided by 8 cans, which equals $0.56/can.
For the 24-can case:
Cost = $9.60
Quantity = 24 cans
The unit price for one can would be $9.60 divided by 24 cans, which equals $0.40/can.
Therefore, the correct answer is A: $0.56/bottle and $0.40/can.
