Question

What is the price per ounce for 10 ounces and the cost is $1.75

Answer 1

Answer:

The price per ounce is $0.175.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of ounces = 10

Price of 10 ounces = $1.75

We know that, from unitary method, price of a unit quantity is given as:

$\textrm{Unit rate}=\frac{\textrm{Total price}}{\textrm{Number of quantities}}$

Here, the number of quantities correspond to the number of ounces.

Total price corresponds to the price of the 10 ounces which is $1.75.

Now, unit rate or price per ounce is given as:

Price per ounce = $\frac{1.75}{10}$

Price per ounce = $0.175

Therefore, the price per ounce is $0.175.
