Answer 1

price club is .28 cents per ounce and Shop mart is .26 cents per ounce.

Explanation:

To find the unit price per ounce, you divide the cost by the weight ($3.43/12 ounces) which equals .28 cents per ounce. The non-estimated answer is .28666 but since you never round up for money it eill be .28. For shop mart, you convert pounds to ouncea. 1 pound equals 16 ounces. with this in mind, 2 pounds will be 32 ounces since its double the amount. Divide $8.35 by 32 and you get .26 cents per ounce.
