Question

Hi, i need help with this question....A box of sugar costs $6.35 for 50 oz. Find the unit cost, round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

$ 0.13

Explanation:

To calculate the unit value, that is, 1 ounce, we must make the following proportion:

`\begin{gathered} (6.35)/(50)=(x)/(1) \\ \text{ solving for x:} \\ x=(6.35\cdot1)/(50) \\ x=0.127\cong\text{ \$0.13} \end{gathered}`

Therefore the unit cost is $ 0.13
