Typically UNIT PRICE is "price per unit volume" or "price per unit weight." In this case, you did not say how much tomato sauce was in each can, so the two typical "unit prices" I mentioned are not possible to calculate. The reason that these are best is that its necessary to compare prices as each package or can, etc., can contain more or less product. A very large can can be cheaper or sometimes more expensive then a smaller can of the same product, even within the same exact brands.

If you want the price per unit, and your unit is "a can of unknown quantity", then your unit price per can is:

$4.50/ 5Cans = $0.90/Can, or 90 cents per can-unit.

How long can you leave tomato sauce at room temt?

Depending on the acidity of the tomato sauce, or whether artificial preservatives have been added, tomato sauce can be left out at room temperature (68-72 degrees Fahrenheit) for 2-5 days. Home made tomato sauce is likely to have little to no artificial preservatives, but is preserved by the acidity of the tomatoes, the added salt, and various herbs added. Therefore, in my experience, homemade tomato sauce has not gone bad until the third night, assuming that the tomato sauce was made on the first morning. Store-bought tomato sauce may have ascorbic acid, vinegar and/or other preservatives added that allow the tomato sauce to be left out unopened for an undefined amount of time. When opened, the tomato sauce will not be affected for several days. Several of my friends never refrigerate their store-bought tomato sauce, because they use up the entire bottle within the week. However, if the tomato sauce has been excessively handled or contaminated, it may spoil withing 12 hours.
