A 16-ounce bottle of fresh water is $1.76. A 20-ounce bottle of spring water is $2.40. Which statement about the unit price is true?

A. Spring water has a lower unit price of $0.12/ounce
B. Fresh water has a lower unit price of $0.11/ounce
C. Fresh water has a lower unit price of $0.12/ounce
D. Spring water has a lower unit price of $0.11/ounce

Answer :

To find the unit price of each item you want to divide:

Fresh water:

$1.76 / 16 = $0.11

Spring water:

$2.40 / 20 = $0.12

So the statement that is true is B) Fresh water has a lower unit price of $0.11/ounce.

Hope this Helps!!
