Unit Prices

Question 17 • POP Financial Math 26/27

A 60 ounce glass bottle of juice sells for $4.20 while a 1.5 liter of the same juice sells in a plastic bottle for $3.06. Compare the unit prices of the juice for the two containers. (1 liter is approximately 34 ounces)

Answer
A
The juice in the glass bottle is 1 cent cheaper per ounce.
B
The juice in the plastic bottle is 1 cent cheaper per ounce.
C
The juice in the glass bottle is 10 cents cheaper per ounce.
D
The juice in the plastic bottle is 10 cents cheaper per ounce.

Explanation

The glass bottle costs $4.20 ÷ 60 = $0.07 per ounce. The plastic bottle holds about 1.5 × 34 = 51 ounces, so its unit price is $3.06 ÷ 51 = $0.06 per ounce. Therefore, the plastic bottle is 1 cent cheaper per ounce, matching choice b.
