Question

Maya went to the key food supermarket and brought a 64 fl. is a container of juice for $2.49. What was the unit price of the juice? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

4 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that the price of 64 fluid ounces of juice costs

$2.49 = 64 ounces

To get the unit price we will say;

$x = 1 ounce

Dividing both expressions;

2.49/x = 64/1

Cross multiply;

2.49 * 1 = 64 * x

2.49 = 64x

64x = 2.49

x = 2.49/64

x = $0.0389

COnvert to cent

Since $1 = 100cents

$0.0389 = 10(0.0389) cents

$0.0389 = 3.89 cents

Hence the unit price of the juice to the nearest cent is 4 cents
