Answer:

The 90 oz bottle of Tide is the better buy because it has a lower price per oz.

Explanation:

To find the bottle of Tide that is a better buy, you have to divide each price for the number of ounces they have and determine the one that has the lower price per ounce.

$3.99/25= $0.15

$6.99/90= $0.07

According to this, the answer is that the 90 oz bottle of Tide is the better buy because it has a lower price per oz.
