How to determine unit cost?
0
I'm currently trying to study the formula for each of these questions.
This is the only page where you see in the picture in which I can't figure out how to calculate the numbers in order to get the answer.
Our books speaks about the formulas but I've tried every possible solution.
There is 3 other pages which I was able to solve just fine but I feel as if I missed an important step into figuring this out.

Your have to express the answer in the units they give you, they’re there in the far right. 600ml costing 2.4 is 0.6L, so cost per unit is 2.4/0.6L=7, for example

Which one you don't know? In any eventUnit cost=Cost/No of Unite.g. a) water, you have$3.80/2L=1.70 $/L. In some case, you may need to convert the unit in final answer. e.g. b) pure vanilla extract$4.20/600 mL=$4.20/0.6L=7.00 $/L.

Everything after a and b weren't adding up correctly. I would take the AP Cost and divide it by No. of Units

An Example for c) and d), and then 1 Extension Price would be nice.

onion :$5.12 / 34 lbs=$5.12 / (34 * 16 oz)=0.009411 $/ozblack pepper :$30.57 / 3 kg=30.57 / ( 3 * 2.20462 lbs)=4.62211 $/lbsSo after round to 3 decimal place, the number for (c) is correct, the one for (d) looks like a typo. For the extension price, let's take salt as example, you want1/4 tsp*1.54 $/fl oz=1/4 x 1/6 fl.oz*1.54 fl.oz=(1.54)/(4*6) $=0.0641666 $rounding down to 3 decimal places, the supplied answer also looks correct. At the end, what you really need is a converter between different unit and I use google to do the conversion.
