Answer:
The price per ounce is $0.175.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Number of ounces = 10
Price of 10 ounces = $1.75
We know that, from unitary method, price of a unit quantity is given as:
[tex]\textrm{Unit rate}=\frac{\textrm{Total price}}{\textrm{Number of quantities}}[/tex]
Here, the number of quantities correspond to the number of ounces.
Total price corresponds to the price of the 10 ounces which is $1.75.
Now, unit rate or price per ounce is given as:
Price per ounce = [tex]\frac{1.75}{10}[/tex]
Price per ounce = $0.175
Therefore, the price per ounce is $0.175.
