Respuesta :

Answer:

$0.88 for 2 ounce box is the best buy

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the best buy

A 2 ounce box sells for $0.88

Thus, price per ounce would be $0.88/2 = $0.44 per ounce

A 16 ounce box sells for $7.18

Thus, price per ounce would be $7.18/16 =$0.44875 per ounce

Lastly, a 32 ounce box sells for $14.38

Price per ounce would be $14.38/32 = $0.449375 per ounce

From the above, we can see that the first offer is the best buy since it has the lowest price per ounce
