Answer 1

The unit rate at HEB is $0.23 per ounce. The unit rate at Fiesta is $0.25 per ounce. So HEB has the better buy for dish soap.

Explanation:

To calculate unit rate, you divide the price by the oz.

So for HEB, you should do $2.80/12 oz. This will equal to $0.23 per ounce. For Fiesta, you should do $2.00/8 oz. This will equal to $0.25 per ounce.

To determine which one is the better buy, the lower priced one is better, meaning HEB is the better buy.
