Answer: If the number of ounces are the same, then the box that costs more will also cost more per ounce.

Answer:

The one that costs more.

Explanation:

Because you already know that they have the same volume (amount of ounces) and they are different prices, whichever one is more expensive has the higher cost per ounce. {You don't need to solve for a ratio or anything because they have the same number of ounces!!!}
