Which statement about the unit prices is true?

Answer :

Final answer:

The Spring Water has a lower unit price than the Fresh Water.

To compare the unit prices of the two bottles of water, we divide the price by the number of ounces. For the Spring Water, the unit price is $1.76/16 = $0.11 per ounce. For the Fresh Water, the unit price is $2.40/20 = $0.12 per ounce. Therefore, the statement that is true about the unit prices is that the Spring Water has a lower unit price than the Fresh Water.
