Answer:

an 8 ounce package would be the lower cost per ounce

Explanation:

one pound represents 16 ounces so 1/4 of 16 ounces would be 4 ounces

so it cost $8.25 for 4 ounces of almonds and would cost $16.50 for 8 ounces of almonds instead of the other package that is offering 8 ounces of almonds for $0.50 cheaper

hope this helps and makes sense <3
