Answer: Option B.

Explanation:

The price per ounce can be calculated as the amount of you paid divided the number of ounces that you get.

A) we have a table:

ounces price

18 $1.5

36 $3.00

54 $4.5

We can see that here we have a linear relationship. for example, the price for 18 ounces is $1.5

Then the price per ounce is:

p = $1.5/18 = $0.083

B) here we know that 15 oz cost $0.75, the price per ounce is:

p = $0.75/15 = $0.05

C) here we have 11 ounces, and the price is $2.20

then we have:

p = $2.2/11 = $0.2

Then we can conclude that the least expensive is option B.
