What unit would I use for density in this equation?

What unit would I use for the density in this chemistry equation?

This is the question: 1.88 Calculate the density of 50.0g of an isopropyl alcohol – water mixture that has a volume of 63.6 mL.

This is what I think the answer is but I don't know the unit to use for density.

Density is mass over volume. D=M/V. That means that to answer this you would put the mass (50.0 g) over the volume (63.6). This would make D=50.0g/63.6mL. The solution would then be that D= 0.786163522. This would make the density 0.79.

    Density would be 0.79 g/ml. Specific gravity is 0.79 without a unit.
