Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the unit price per tissue, we need to divide the total cost by the total number of tissues in the package. 
Total cost = $3.99
Number of tissues = 3 boxes x 792 tissues/box = 2376 tissues
Unit price per tissue = Total cost ÷ Number of tissues = $3.99 ÷ 2376 = $0.0016768 (rounded to the nearest 100th of a cent)
Therefore, the unit price per tissue is $0.0017 per tissue, which is answer choice C.
