If a six-pack of beverages costs $3, what is the unit price per bottle?

• A. $3 per six-pack
• B. $1.00 per bottle
• C. $0.50 per bottle
• D. $0.75 per bottle

Answer: (C)

To find the price per bottle, divide the total cost by the number of bottles in the pack. Six bottles cost $3, so the price per bottle is $3 ÷ 6 = $0.50. This also checks out because 0.50 × 6 = 3, which matches the total.

The other options would lead to different totals: $3 per bottle would make the six-pack cost $18; $1 per bottle would cost $6; $0.75 per bottle would cost $4.50. So the unit price per bottle is $0.50.
