Cereal #1 The number of ounces in Essential Choice is 16.4 oz. So to find the unit price for every ounce you divide $2.37 by 16.4 . Ounces ----------- Price 16.4 --------- $2.37 = Price Per Ounce= .15
Cereal #2 The number of ounces is 16.4 also. But the price for this box is $3.58. So to find the unit price for every one ounce you divide $3.58 by 16.4 . 16.4 ------------ 3.58 Ounces ----------- Price = Price Per Ounce= .22
Cereal #3 This box of cereal has 15 oz in it. So to find the unit price you divide $3.58 by 15 to get the price per ounce. 15 -------- $3.58 Ounces ----------- Price = Price Per Ounce= .24
