Answer 1

Bottle 1 = $1.92 & 12 ounces

Bottle 2 = $2.40 & 16 ounces

Bottle 1

If 12 ounces costs $1.92, to determine the price of 1 ounce we divide $1.92 by 12.

$1.92 ÷ 12 = $0.16 per ounce for bottle 1.

Bottle 2

If 16 ounces costs $2.40, to determine the price of 1 ounce we divide $2.40 by 16.

$2.40 ÷ 16 = $0.15 per ounce for bottle 2.

Therefore we can determine that Bottle 2 is cheaper per ounce than Bottle 1.
