p%28x%29+=+0.06x+%2B+0.55, there x is the number of ounces of cereal.
Write a function u%28x%29 that represents the unit price (price per ounce of cereal.)
unit price is price "per 1 ounce" andx is the number of ounces; so, unit price is price when x=1
p%281%29+=+0.06%2A1+%2B+0.55
p%281%29+=+0.61->unit price
