Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} 1.\text{ \$0.10} \\ 2.\text{ \$0.11} \end{gathered}`

Explanation:

The unit price means the cost per ounce. We can calculate as a fraction:

`\text{Unit price=}\frac{\text{ cost}}{\text{volume}}`

Therefore, for 16 oz at $1.65:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Unit price= }(1.65)/(16) \\ \text{ Unit price= \$0.10} \end{gathered}`

For 12 oz at $1.36:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Unit price=}(1.36)/(12) \\ \text{Unit price= \$0.11} \end{gathered}`
