Answer 1

Answer:

Brand B

Explanation:

The cost for each brand is given below:

• Brand A: 20 ounces for $2.50

,

• Brand B: 32 ounces for $3.25

To determine the price per ounce for each brand, divide the cost by the number of ounces.

$\begin{gathered} \text{Price Per Ounce for Brand A: }\frac{\ 2.50}{20\text{ ounces}}=\ 0.13\text{ per ounce} \\ \text{Price Per Ounce for Brand B: }\frac{\ 3.25}{32\text{ ounces}}=\ 0.10\text{ per ounce} \end{gathered}$

This, we see that Brand B has the lowest price per ounce.
