Answer:

$0.19 per quart

Step-by-step explanation:

If 16 quarts are sold for $2.99, then, we divide to obtain the unit price (the price of one quart).


\begin{gathered} \text{The unit price=}\frac{\$2.99}{16\text{ quarts}}\text{ } \\ =\$0.19\text{ per quart} \end{gathered}

The unit price is $0.19 per quart (correct to the nearest cent).
