Answer:

C

Explanation:

4 ounce costs $1.79

12 ounce costs $4.11

$1.79 ÷ 4 = 0.4475 per ounce

$4.11 ÷ 12 = 0.3425 per ounce

0.3425 < 0.4475

So the 12 ounce tube is the better buy becaus it is cheaper per ounce.

hope this helps :)

You’d need three of the smaller tubes to equal the larger tube

But three of the smaller tubes cost 5.37, so it is 1.26 cheaper to buy the bigger tube
