Answer 1

Okay doll so this is how you do it.

The 12 ounces doesn't matter. Its irrelevant.

You divide 14.22 by 18.

And that's all there is to it.

The answer is C. $0.79

Answer 2

Option C. $0.79

Explanation:

There are 18 cans of peas in a case.

Weight of each can of peas = 12 ounces

The price of one case of peas = $14.22

In this question the price of one case of peas is given and we also know that in one case there are 18 cans,

so to calculate the price of one can we have to divide the price of whole case by the amount of cans

Price of one can of peas =
`(14.22)/(18)`

= 0.79

The unit price per can of peas is $0.79.
