Question

Product A is an 8oz. Bottle of cough medicine that sells for $1.36. Product B is a 16oz. Bottle cough medicine that costs $3.20. Which product has the lower unit price?

Answer 1

Product A= 8oz = 1.36 x 2= 2.72. 16oz = 2.72

product B=16oz= 3.20

so Product A has the lower unit price.

Answer 2

Answer: Product A is the cheapest unit price.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Weight of a Product A = 8 oz

Cost at which it is sold = $1.36

Cost per unit for Product A will be

$\frac{1.36}{8}=\ 0.17$

Weight of a Product B = 16 oz

Cost at which it is sold = $3.20

Cost per unit for Product B will be

$\frac{3.2}{16}=\ 0.20$

So, we can see that the unit price of "Product A" is lower than the unit price of product B .

Hence, Product A has the cheapest unit price.
