12 oz: ____ ¢/oz
8 oz: ____ ¢/oz

Explanation:

Step1: Convert dollars to cents

For 12 oz: $\$4.51 = 4.51 \times 100 = 451$ cents
For 8 oz: $\$3.32 = 3.32 \times 100 = 332$ cents

Step2: Calculate unit price (12 oz)

Divide total cents by ounces: $\frac{451}{12} \approx 37.6$ cents/oz

Step3: Calculate unit price (8 oz)

Divide total cents by ounces: $\frac{332}{8} = 41.5$ cents/oz

Answer:

12 oz: $37.6$ ¢/oz
8 oz: $41.5$ ¢/oz
