Wait do you have to find the unit price or the dollars per ounce

Unit price is basically like a simplified fraction.....We are given `$.98` for `20-ounces` of pineapple juice...now we want to know how much it costs for 1 ounce of pineapple juice....in order to do this we would need to divide the total price for 20-ounces of juice by 20 ounces to get the price for 1 ounce....

$\huge{\frac{total~price}{ounces}\rightarrow\frac{.98}{20}}$

So divide....

divide .98 by 20

mathmale · Answer

It is essential that you include the units of measurement here.

Not .98 /20, but $0.98 / 20 ounces = $$\frac{ ?~dollars }{ ounce }$$
