Answer 1

ANSWER

Walmart has a better buy, because their price per ounce is less than Target's

EXPLANATION

To find which one has the better buy, we have to find the price per ounce for each store:

Target:

$\frac{1.20}{8}=0.15$

$0.15 per ounce

Walmart:

$\frac{1.56}{12}=0.13$

$0.13 per ounce
