A 96-ounce container of orange juice cost $4.80. At what price should a 128-ounce container be sold in order for the unit rate for both containers to be the same

unit rate is price divided by volume

so 4.80/ 96 = 0.05 cents per ounce

now multiply that by the new volume

128*0.05 = 6.40

the 128 ounce container should be sold at $6.40
