Question

Compute the price per ounce for the following items:

20oz Bottle Coke: $2.99 for a six-pack
94.35oz Bag of candy: $38.25
8oz Can of Refried Beans: 2/$1.00
15.8 oz of Cereal: $3.89 per box

Answer 1

To find the price per ounce, divide the product's total price by its total ounces. For example, a 20oz Coke at $2.99 per six-pack costs approximately $0.025 per ounce after calculating total ounces and price.

Step-by-step explanation:

To compute the price per ounce for each item, we divide the total price of the item by the number of ounces it contains.

• For the 20oz Bottle Coke, a six-pack costs $2.99. Since there are six bottles, the total number of ounces is 20oz × 6 = 120oz. The price per ounce is $2.99 / 120oz = $0.02492 (rounded to $0.025).
• The 94.35oz Bag of candy prices out to $38.25 / 94.35oz = $0.405 per ounce.
• 8oz Can of Refried Beans: since they are 2 for $1.00, each can costs $0.50. Therefore, the price per ounce is $0.50 / 8oz = $0.0625.
• For the 15.8oz box of Cereal, the cost per ounce is $3.89 / 15.8oz = $0.2462 (rounded to $0.25).
