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
The correct unit prices are:
$0.56/bottle and $0.40/can
To find the unit price for each, we need to divide the total cost by the number of units.
For the 8-can pack of bottles:
Unit price = Total cost / Number of units
Unit price = $4.48 / 8 cans
Unit price = $0.56/can
For the 24-can case:
Unit price = Total cost / Number of units
Unit price = $9.60 / 24 cans
Unit price = $0.40/can
So, the unit price for each is $0.56/bottle and $0.40/can.
To find the unit price for each, we divide the total cost by the number of units in each pack or case.
For the 8-can pack of bottles, the total cost is $4.48. Since there are 8 cans in the pack, we divide $4.48 by 8. Doing the calculation, we get $0.56.
So, the unit price for the 8-can pack of bottles is $0.56 per bottle.
For the 24-can case, the total cost is $9.60. Since there are 24 cans in the case, we divide $9.60 by 24. Doing the calculation, we get $0.40.
So, the unit price for the 24-can case is $0.40 per can.
Therefore, the correct unit prices are:
- $0.56/bottle and $0.40/can.
