Answer:

  a. $0.47 per ounce

  b. $0.36 per ounce

  c. the gallon size costs less per ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

A unit rate is a rate that is expressed with one unit in the denominator. That is, it is <some amount> per unit. The <some amount> value will generally depend on what unit is chosen. This problem suggests the desired unit is 1 oz of paint.

__

a.

Unit cost for a quart:

  ratio = cost/ounces = $14.99/(32 oz) ≈ $0.468/oz ≈ $0.47/oz

__

b.

Unit cost for a gallon:

  ratio = cost/ounces = $45.99/(120 oz) ≈ $0.359/oz ≈ $0.36/oz

__

c.

The cost per ounce is less for the gallon size. If at least 3 quarts of paint is needed, then buying it in the gallon size will cost less.

If less than 3 quarts are needed, then a gallon container will cost more than is necessary for the paint required. The "better deal" depends on the amount of paint required.
