How unit pricing lets you compare
Unit pricing states the cost per measure so different package sizes can be compared.

From the opening
Unit pricing puts the price of a standard measure, such as per ounce, per liter, or per count, next to the package price. Shoppers can then compare a small box and a large box, or two brands in different sizes, without doing the division in the aisle. The opening covers price per measure lines up sizes, a cheaper box can cost more, and units must match to be fair.
The rest of the brief — the later sections and the reading notes — opens after Stripe confirms payment.
