Final answer:

The price per bottle of the bottled mineral water is P6.50, as directly stated in the question. No further calculation is needed unless we are asked for the price of multiple bottles or different volumes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the price per bottle of bottled mineral water, we need to consider the cost given for one bottle. Since the question states that the cost of one 500 ml bottle is P6.50, that is the price per bottle. There's no more calculation needed unless we're asked to find the price for multiple bottles or for a different volume. The given price directly reflects the cost per unit.

If, however, the question involved calculating the price per bottle based on a total cost and a number of bottles, you would divide the total cost by the number of bottles to get the price per bottle. But since the price per individual bottle is already given as P6.50, no further steps are necessary.

For example, if you were to supply 100 bottles to the school canteen at the cost of P6.50 per bottle, the total cost would be 100 bottles * P6.50/bottle, which equals P650.00.
