For this case we have two options:
Option A:
Tomato juice, 48 oz. can for $ 2.49.
The unit price is:
(2.49) / (48) = 0.05 cents per oz.
Option B:
Tomato juice, 6-pack of 10 oz. cans for $ 3.99.
The unit price is:
(3.99) / (6 * 10) = 0.07 cents per oz.

The best buy would be:
Tomato juice, 48 oz. can for $ 2.49.
