D. 10 oz for $3.30

Answer :

Final answer:

Option b (16 oz for $4.64) has the lowest unit price of $0.29 per ounce.

Explanation:

To find the lowest unit price, we need to divide the total cost by the number of ounces in each option. Let's calculate the unit price for each option:

  • Option a: Unit price = $5.40 / 18 oz = $0.30/oz
  • Option b: Unit price = $4.64 / 16 oz = $0.29/oz
  • Option c: Unit price = $3.72 / 12 oz = $0.31/oz
  • Option d: Unit price = $3.30 / 10 oz = $0.33/oz

Therefore, option b (16 oz for $4.64) has the lowest unit price of $0.29 per ounce.
