We know that a 16 ounce bottle is $3.20 and we want to find how much per ounce is.

So we set up a proportion and let x be the cost of one ounce:
16 3.20 = 1 x

Now we can cross multiply:
16 x = 3.20

Divide both sides by 16:
16 x 16 = 3.20 16

Therefore,
x=0.20

The cost of apple juice per ounce is 20 cents.
