Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

With option A you get 16 oz. of jelly for $3.30

With option B you get three times the amount of jelly for a better price.

Option B gives you three times the amount of jelly for less than three times the price that it should be.

It's a good deal.

I hope this helps. (I'm new to this btw)
