Devon is trying to find the unit price of a 6-pack of energy drinks on sale for $2.99. His sister says that at that price, each energy drink would cost just over $2.00.

Is she correct, and how do you know? If she is not, how would Devon's sister find the correct price?

** Devon's sister is wrong **
** The correct unit price is:**
U ni t cos t = 0.50 ; For this case, the unit cost can be found through the following relationship:
U ni t cos t = N u mb er O f I t e m s t o t a lC os t ​
Substituting values in the given equation we have:
U ni t cos t = 6 2.99 ​
U ni t cos t = 0.50
We note then that Devon's sister is wrong :

Devon's sister is incorrect; the unit price of each energy drink is approximately 50 cents, not over $2.00. To find the correct price, she could divide the total cost of the pack by the number of drinks. This calculation reveals the actual cost per drink is much lower than her claim.
