Question

a 16-fl oz bottle of juice coasts $2.00 what is the unit cost?

Answer 1

Im so confused on this

Answer 2

If there are 16 fl oz., then you would want to find the cost of a singular (1) fluid oz. To do this you would want to divide the cost of 16 fl oz ($2.00) by 16 so as an equation:
16x = 2.00, where x represents the cost of 1 fl oz.
To solve for this reverse the operation of multiplication by dividing 16 from both sides (this is called the division property of equality)
16x = 2.00
/16 /16
x = .125
If you want you cant round this to say that 1 fl oz is approximately 13 cents or just .125 dollars

Answer 3

thank you so much!
