For choice (a);


\begin{gathered} 6\text{ ounces of chocolate for 2.49} \\ \text{Per ounce=}(2.49)/(6) \\ \text{Per ounce=\$0.415} \end{gathered}

For choice (b);


\begin{gathered} 8\text{ ounces of chocolate for 3.32} \\ \text{Per ounce=}(3.32)/(8) \\ \text{Per ounce=\$0.415} \end{gathered}

Both options (a) and (b) have the same price per ounce which is $0.415.

Therefore, none of them is a cheaper option.
