Question

Product A is an 8-oz. Bottle of cough medication that sells for $1.36. Product B is a 16-oz. Bottle of cough medication that cost $3.20. What product has the lower unit price?

Answer 1

Product A is 8 oz and sells for = $1.36

So, 1 oz of Product A will cost =
`(1.36)/(8)` = $0.17

So, unit price of product A is $0.17

Product B is 16 oz and sells for = $3.20

So, 1 oz of product B will cost =
`(3.20)/(16)` = 0.20

Unit price of product B is $0.20

Hence, comparing the two unit prices, Product A has a lower unit price.
