$1.79/bottle and $2.53/can
$1.79/bottle and $2.53/can
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 and $0.40/can
$0.56/bottle and $0.40/can
0.56 bottle/$1.00 and 0.40 can/$1.00
The correct answer is: $0.56/bottle and $0.40/can.
To find the unit price for each item, we need to divide the cost by the number of items.
For the 8-can pack of bottles:
Cost = $4.48
Number of cans = 8
Unit price = Cost / Number of cans = $4.48 / 8 = $0.56/can
For the 24-can case:
Cost = $9.60
Number of cans = 24
Unit price = Cost / Number of cans = $9.60 / 24 = $0.40/can
So, the unit price for the bottles is $0.56/bottle and the unit price for the cans is $0.40/can.
To find the unit price for each item, we need to divide the total cost by the number of units. In this case, we have an 8-can pack of bottles and a 24-can case.
For the 8-can pack of bottles:
Total cost = $4.48
Number of bottles = 8
Unit price for bottles = Total cost / Number of bottles
= $4.48 / 8
= $0.56/bottle
For the 24-can case:
Total cost = $9.60
Number of cans = 24
Unit price for cans = Total cost / Number of cans
= $9.60 / 24
= $0.40/can
Therefore, the correct answer is:
$0.56/bottle and $0.40/can
