Answer 1

To determine the lowest price per ounce, we calculate the price per ounce for each bag. The 40 ounce bag of Hot Cheetos offers the lowest price per ounce at $0.22.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which bag of Hot Cheetos offers the lowest price per ounce, we need to calculate the price per ounce for each bag.

The 18 ounce bag costs $4.50, so the price per ounce is $4.50/18 = $0.25 per ounce.

The 40 ounce bag costs $8.80, so the price per ounce is $8.80/40 = $0.22 per ounce.

Therefore, the 40 ounce bag of Hot Cheetos offers the lowest price per ounce at $0.22.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation: You want to figure out how much it costs per ounce. You’ll divide $4.50/18 ounces to get $0.25 per ounce for the 18 ounce bag and $8.80/40 ounces to get $0.22 per ounce for the 40 ounce bag. The 40 ounce bag is cheaper per ounce.
