Answer: a) $0.08  b) 0.09  c) grocery store

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The selling price of 25-ounce container of lemonade mix at grocery store= $2.00

a) The unit price e for the lemonade mix at the grocery store $=\frac{\ 2}{25}=\ 0.08$

⇒The unit price e for the lemonade mix at the grocery store $=\ 0.08$

b)The selling price of 75-ounce container of lemonade mix at wholesale club= $6.75

The unit price e for the lemonade mix at the wholesale club $=\frac{\ 6.75}{75}=\ 0.09$

⇒The unit price e for the lemonade mix at the wholesale club $=\ 0.09$
