Given the word problem, we can deduce the following information:

1. A 19 ounce soup costs $1.50.

To determine the unit price of the soup, we divide the total cost by the number of ounces. So,

Unit Price = Total Cost/ Number of ounces

Unit Price = $1.50/19 ounces

Calculate

= $0.079/ounce

Therefore,the answer is $0.079 per ounce.
