Answer 1

SOLUTION

Given the question in the question tab, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.

STEP 1: Write the cost of getting 64 ounce of the VA splash

$64\text{ ounce VA splash=\ 2.28}$

STEP 2: Calculate the amount of a unit ounce of the VA splash

$\begin{gathered} 64\text{ ounce VA splash=\ 2.28} \\ \text{Let x be equal to the price per unit ounce} \\ 1\text{ ounce VA splash=x} \\ By\text{ cross multiplication; } \\ 1\times2.28=64\times x \\ 2.28=64x \\ \text{Divide both sides by 64} \\ \frac{2.28}{64}=\frac{64x}{64} \\ 0.035625=x \\ x=\text{\ }0.035625 \\ x\approx\text{\ }0.04\text{ to the nearest hundredth} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the cost per ounce of the VA splash to the nearest hundredth is $0.04
