Answer:

The last package having 18 ounce beans in $6.30 is best to buy.

Explanation:

Given that:

A 7​-ounce package costs ​$2.52

for 1 ounce it will cost = $2.52/7

1 ounce will cost = $0.36

A 15​-ounce package costs ​$5.55

for 1 ounce it will cost = $5.55/15

1 ounce will cost = $0.37

An 18​-ounce package costs ​$6.30.

for 1 ounce it will cost = $6.30/18

1 ounce will cost = $0.35

So the last package having 18 ounce beans in $6.30 is best to buy.

i hope it will help you!
