Answer:

D. $0.035 per ounce.

Explanation:

We have been given a table. We are asked to find the container that costs the least per ounce.

Let us find per ounce cost of each container as:

A.
\frac{\$1.28}{\text{16 oz}}=\frac{\$0.08}{\text{oz}}

B.
\frac{\$1.92}{\text{32 oz}}=\frac{\$0.06}{\text{oz}}

C.
\frac{\$2.56}{\text{64 oz}}=\frac{\$0.04}{\text{oz}}

D.
\frac{\$1.92}{\text{96 oz}}=\frac{\$0.035}{\text{oz}}

Therefore, the container with 96 oz for $3.36 costs the least per ounce.
