A. Bottle: $0.56, Can: $0.40
B. Bottle: $0.60, Can: $0.48
C. Bottle: $0.55, Can: $0.45
D. Bottle: $0.50, Can: $0.35

Answer 1

The unit price for each bottle is $0.56 and for each can is $0.40, making the correct answer A. Bottle: $0.56, Can: $0.40.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the unit price for each pack, we need to divide the total cost by the number of cans or bottles in the pack.

For the 8-can pack of bottles at $4.48, the unit price is calculated as $4.48 divided by 8. Therefore, the unit price for each bottle is:

$4.48 ÷ 8 = $0.56 per bottle.

For the 24-can case at $9.60, the unit price is calculated as $9.60 divided by 24. Therefore, the unit price for each can is:

$9.60 ÷ 24 = $0.40 per can.

So, the correct answer to the student's question is A. Bottle: $0.56, Can: $0.40.
