Question

Your are buying a can of tomato soup that weighs 8.5oz. The cost of the can of soup is $0.89. What is the approximate unit price per ounce?

Answer 1

$0.10 (nearest cent)

10.5¢

Explanation:

Given:

• Weight of the can of tomato soup = 8.5 oz
• Cost of the can = $0.89

To find the approximate unit price per ounce, divide the cost of the can by the number of ounces in the can:

`\implies (0.89)/(8.5)=0.104705882...`

Therefore, the approximate unit price per ounce is $0.10 (nearest cent) or 10.5¢ (nearest half cent).
