Choice B-a 36 ounce bottle for $3.05.

(Hint: 1 pound = 16 ounces)
Show your calculations and indicate your choice clearly.

Answer 1

Choice B

Explanation:

As we know that

1 pound = 16 ounces

So for choice A

it is given that

2 pound would cost $3.90

i.e. 32 ounces would cost $3.90

So per ounce it would be

= $3.90 ÷ 32

= 0.121875

Now for choice B

It is given that

36 ounces would cost for $3.05

So per ounces it would be

= $3.05 ÷ 36

= 0.08472

So here the per ounces would be less for choice B so the same would be considered
