1. The problem is to find the unit price per can for each box of sauce given the total price and number of cans.
2. The formula to find the unit price is:
$$\text{Unit Price} = \frac{\text{Total Price}}{\text{Number of Cans}}$$
3. Calculate the unit price for each box:
- For 14 cans at 12.46:
$$\text{Unit Price} = \frac{12.46}{14}$$
$$= \frac{\cancel{12.46}}{\cancel{14}} = 0.89$$
- For 15 cans at 13.05:
$$\text{Unit Price} = \frac{13.05}{15}$$
$$= \frac{\cancel{13.05}}{\cancel{15}} = 0.87$$
- For 20 cans at 17.20:
$$\text{Unit Price} = \frac{17.20}{20}$$
$$= \frac{\cancel{17.20}}{\cancel{20}} = 0.86$$
- For 24 cans at 21.12:
$$\text{Unit Price} = \frac{21.12}{24}$$
$$= \frac{\cancel{21.12}}{\cancel{24}} = 0.88$$
4. So the unit prices per can are:
- 14 cans: 0.89
- 15 cans: 0.87
- 20 cans: 0.86
- 24 cans: 0.88
These values match the options given in the unit price table.
Final answer:
| Boxes of Sauce | Unit Price per Can |
|----------------|-------------------|
| 14 cans for 12.46 | 0.89 |
| 15 cans for 13.05 | 0.87 |
| 20 cans for 17.20 | 0.86 |
| 24 cans for 21.12 | 0.88 |
