At family market, an 8-can pack of bottles cost $4.48, and a 24-can case cost $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/$1.00 and 0.40 can/$1.00
C 1.79 bottles/$1.00 and 2.53 cans/$1.00
D $0.56/bottle and $0.40/can
To find the unit price, we need to divide the total cost by the number of items.
For the 8-can pack:
Unit price = Total cost / Number of items = $4.48 / 8 = $0.56/bottle
For the 24-can case:
Unit price = Total cost / Number of items = $9.60 / 24 = $0.40/can
Therefore, the correct answer is option D: $0.56/bottle and $0.40/can.
