Answer 2

Answer:

Can D has the lowest unit price per ounce.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 8 ounce for $ 1.44

$\text{Cost of 1 ounce pineapple = }\frac{1.44}{8}$

$\text{Cost of 1 ounce pineapple = }\ 0.18$

B. 6 ounce for $ 1. 14

$\text{Cost of 1 ounce pineapple = }\frac{1.14}{6}$

$\text{Cost of 1 ounce pineapple = }\ 0.19$

C. 18 ounce for $ 2.88

$\text{Cost of 1 ounce pineapple = }\frac{2.88}{18}$

$\text{Cost of 1 ounce pineapple = }\ 0.16$

D. 10 ounce for $ 1.62

$\text{Cost of 1 ounce pineapple = }\frac{1.62}{10}$

$\text{Cost of 1 ounce pineapple = }\ 0.162$

Since, 0.160 < 0.162 < 0.18 < 0.19

So, The least number is 0.160

Hence, Can D has the lowest unit price per ounce.
