What is the unit price for Brand P after applying the coupon?
To find the unit price for Brand G after applying the coupon, we need to subtract the coupon amount from the original price. The original price is $1.99 for 9 ounces. Since the coupon is for 60 off, the adjusted price would be $1.99 - $0.60 = $1.39.
Therefore, the unit price for Brand G after applying the coupon is $1.39 / 9 ounces = $0.154 per ounce (rounded to the nearest thousandth).
To find the unit price for Brand K, we divide the price by the number of ounces. The price is $3.69 for 17.2 ounces.
Therefore, the unit price for Brand K is $3.69 / 17.2 ounces = $0.214 per ounce (rounded to the nearest thousandth).
To find the unit price for Brand P after applying the coupon, we need to subtract the coupon amount from the original price. The original price is $3.39 for 11.8 ounces. Since the coupon is for 50 off, the adjusted price would be $3.39 - $0.50 = $2.89.
Therefore, the unit price for Brand P after applying the coupon is $2.89 / 11.8 ounces = $0.245 per ounce (rounded to the nearest thousandth).
