To find the unit price, we divide the total price by the number of units. In this case, we divide $3.09 by 8.2 oz to get $0.376 per oz. To round to the nearest cent, we look at the hundredths place digit (7) and round up since it is 5 or greater. Therefore, the unit price is $0.38 per oz, which corresponds to choice B.
