Question

Caitlin is at the grocery store, and she’s trying to find the unit price on a 6-pack of drinks on sale for $2.99. Her younger brother says that at that price, each drink would cost just over $1.00. Is he correct, and how do you know? If he were incorrect, how would Caitlin’s brother find the correct price?
