Your statement is a little ambiguous due to type mistake, so I am assuming you meant to say:

'if 12 fl. oz. bottles cost $84 how much does one bottle cost? Find the Unit Rate.

so I am solving based on '12 fl. oz.' bottles costing $84.

Answer:

unit rate = 7 $ per fl. oz.

Therefore, the 7 $ per fl. oz is the unit rate.

Explanation:

We know that a unit rate is basically a fraction (also called ratio) between two different units with a denominator of 1.

For example, kilometers per hour, and heartbeats per minute, etc.

Here, I assume, by 'unit rate' means you mean to say 'cost per fl. oz.'

Given

The cost of 12 fl. oz. bottlers = cost $84

The cost of 1 bottle cost = $84 ÷ 12 oz = 7 $ per fl. oz.

Hence,

unit rate = 7 $ per fl. oz.

Therefore, the 7 $ per fl. oz is the unit rate.
