The amount of juice purchased is 256 fluid ounces . The cost of juice per fluid ounce is $0.11

Using the parameters given ;

  • Amount of gallons purchased = 2 gallons
  • Cost of 2 gallons = $28.16

1 gallon = (4 × 2 × 2 × 8) = 128 fluid ounces

2 gallons = 2 × 128 = 256 fluid ounces

The cost per fluid ounce can be calculated thus ;

256 fluid ounces = 28.16

1 fluid ounce = x

256x = 28.16 * 1

x = 28.16 / 256

x = $0.11

The cost of juice per fluid ounce is $0.11
