Question

A 5 ounce bottle of juice cost $1.35 and an 8 ounce bottle of juice cost $2.16 a what is the unit cost per ounce of juice and b what is the better buy

Answer 1

Answers:

First bottle's unit cost = 27 cents per oz

Second bottle's unit cost = 27 cents per oz

Both have the same unit cost.

----------------------------------------

Work Shown:

unit cost = price/(number of ounces)

1st bottle unit cost = (1.35)/(5) = 0.27 dollars per oz = 27 cents per oz

2nd bottle unit cost = (2.16)/(8) = 0.27 dollars per oz = 27 cents per oz

Both lead to the same unit cost. Therefore, you can pick either option and it doesn't matter.
