Answer 1

The 14-ounce bottle is the better deal

Explanation:

I know this beause inorder to figure out which one is better you have to make them the same price and then see which bottle has more ounces. So I made each price 1$ so there is 1.58-ounces per dollar in the 5-ounce bottle and 1.17 -ounces per dollar in the 14-ounce bottle.
