Answer:

Peanut butter A is the better buy,

Explanation:

To compare them directly, we can find the price per ounce for each peanut butter.

Peanut butter A has 12 ounces and costs $6, thus, each ounce is
(6)/(12)=\$0.50

Peanut butter B has 32 ounces and costs $18, thus, each once is
(18)/(32)\approx\$0.56

Therefore, Peanut butter A is the better buy.
