Answer 1

Division is one of the basic mathematical operations. The cost of Brand A and B is the same.

What is division?

The division is one of the most basic arithmetic operations. It is used to find the number of times a number is been added to itself.

Given to us

Brand A: 14 ounces for $44.66

Brand B: 20 ounces for $63.80

To compare the two brands we will find the cost of one ounce for each brand.

For Brand A,

The cost of 14 ounces is $44.66, therefore,

$\text{Cost of one ounce} = \dfrac{\ 44.66}{14}\\\\\text{Cost of one ounce} = \ 3.19$

For Brand B,

The cost of 20 ounces is $63.80, therefore,

$\text{Cost of one ounce} = \dfrac{\ 63.80}{20}\\\\\text{Cost of one ounce} = \ 3.19$

From the above two values, we can conclude that the cost of Brand A and B is the same.
