To determine which size bag has the lower price per ounce, we need to calculate the price per ounce for each bag.

For the 7 oz bag, the price per ounce is:

1.10 / 7 = 0.1571

For the 9 oz bag, the price per ounce is:

1.46 / 9 = 0.1622

Therefore, the 7 oz bag has the lower price per ounce, at approximately $0.16 per ounce, compared to the 9 oz bag at approximately $0.16 per ounce. So, if the goal is to get the most value for your money, it would be better to purchase the 7 oz bag of raisins.
