Question

A 96 ounce container of orange juice costs $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. Explain your reasoning

Answer 1

A 128 ounce container should be sold for $6.40. To find the unit rate of the first container, divide 4.80 by 96 to get $0.05 per ounce. Then multiply 0.05 by 128 and you get $6.40 for the 128 ounce container.
