A 15-ounce can of store-brand tomato sauce costs $0.59 at a supermarket. The unit price of the sauce is listed on the shelf below the cans. To the nearest tenth of a cent, what should the listing show as the unit price.

Can someone please help me with this question?

Basically, you just divide 0.59 by 15 so you can find how much it costs per ounce and you round to the nearest tenth of a cent.

Therefore, 0.59 ÷ 15 ≈ 0.039 (actually 0.393 recurring but it says to round to the nearest tenth of a cent)

This means that one ounce of store-brand tomato sauce costs about $0.039.
