Answer:


\boxed {\tt \$0.08 \ per \ ounce}

Explanation:

In order to find the cost per ounce, we must divide the cost by the number of ounces.


(cost)/(ounces)

It costs $1.92 for 24 ounces of water. Substitute $1.92 in for the cost and 24 in for the ounces.


(\$1.92)/(24 \ ounces)

Divide.


\$0.08 /ounce

It costs $0.08 per ounce.
