Question

Hong sells 50.5 ounces of lemonade for a total of $20.20. Find the unit price in dollars per ounce. If necessary, round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

To get the unit price, divide the price for 50.5 ounces of lemonade by those 50.5 ounces, as following:

`\frac{20.20\text{ dollars}}{50.5oz}\rightarrow0.40\text{ dollars per ounce}`

This way, we can conclude that each ounce costs $0.40
