Answer:

8-ounce can tomatoes costs the least per ounce.

Explanation:

Cost of an 8-ounce can of tomatoes = $1.14

cost per ounce of tomatoes =
(1.14)/(8)

= $0.1425 ≈ $0.14 per ounce

Cost of an 12-ounce can of tomatoes = $1.75

cost per ounce of tomatoes =
(1.75)/(12)

= $0.1458 ≈ $0.15 per ounce

Therefore, 8-ounce can of tomatoes cost the least per ounce.
