Respuesta :

your answer is b spring water has a lower unit price of $0.12/ounce

Answer:

A) Spring water has a lower unit price of $0.11/ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The cost 16-ounce bottle of spring water = $ 1.76,

So, the cost of 1 ounce bottle of spring water = [tex]\frac{1.76}{16}[/tex] = $ 0.11

That is, the unit price of the spring water is $0.11 per ounce,

Also, the cost 20-ounce bottle of fresh water = $ 2.40,

So, the cost of 1 ounce bottle of fresh water = [tex]\frac{2.40}{20}[/tex] = $ 0.12

That is, the unit price of the fresh water is $0.12 per ounce,

Hence, spring water has a lower unit price of $0.11/ounce

OPTION A is correct.
