Number of Fluid Ounces per Bottle. Cost. W. 20. Twelve dollars. X. 15. eleven dollars and twenty-five cents. Y. 10. six dollars and fifty cents. Z. 5. two dollars and fifty cents. Based on the data in the table, which brand of sunscreen has the greatest cost per fluid ounce?

Answer 1

Answer: $0.75

Step-by-step explanation: To find the brand of sunscreen with the greatest cost per fluid ounce, we need to calculate the cost per fluid ounce for each brand by dividing the cost by the number of fluid ounces per bottle.

For brand W, the cost per fluid ounce is:

12 dollars / 20 fluid ounces = 0.6 dollars per fluid ounce

For brand X, the cost per fluid ounce is:

11.25 dollars / 15 fluid ounces = 0.75 dollars per fluid ounce

For brand Y, the cost per fluid ounce is:

6.50 dollars / 10 fluid ounces = 0.65 dollars per fluid ounce

For brand Z, the cost per fluid ounce is:

2.50 dollars / 5 fluid ounces = 0.5 dollars per fluid ounce

Therefore, brand X has the greatest cost per fluid ounce, at 0.75 dollars per fluid ounce.
