Answer 1

The unit price of the olive oil is $0.75 per ounce when you divide the total cost of $12.60 by the weight of 16.8 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the unit price of olive oil, you divide the total cost by the total weight in ounces. The given total cost is $12.60 for 16.8 ounces.

Unit Price = Total Cost / Total Weight

Unit Price = $12.60 / 16.8 ounces

Unit Price = $0.75 per ounce

Therefore, the unit price is $0.75 per ounce, which corresponds to answer choice (a).
