16.9 oz of pepsi for $2.29 is better buy

Step-by-step explanation:

16.9 oz of pepsi costs $2.29

1 oz of pepsi = 2.29/16.9

1 oz of pepsi = $0.1355

To the nearest hundredth, 1 oz of pepsi = $0.14

12 oz of pepsi costs $1.89​

1 oz of pepsi = $1.89​/12

1 oz of pepsi = 0.1575

To the nearest hundredth, 1 oz of pepsi = $0.16

$0.14 is lesser than $0.16

Hence, 16.9 oz of pepsi for $2.29 is better buy
