Answer 1

Answer:

The unit price at Price-Club is $0.2158 per ounce.

The unit price at Shop Mart is $0.2925 per ounce.

Step-by-step explanation:

Price Club:

12-ounce box of crackers for $2.59

So

12 ounces - $2.59

1 ounce - x

$12x = 2.59$

$x = \frac{2.59}{12}$

$x = 0.2158$

The unit price at Price-Club is $0.2158 per ounce.

Shop Mart:

1-pound box of crackers for $4.68.

1 pound is 16 ounces. So

16 ounces - $4.68

1 ounce - x

$16x = 4.68$

$x = \frac{4.68}{16}$

$x = 0.2925$

The unit price at Shop Mart is $0.2925 per ounce.
