Answer :
The best option is the 32 oz bottle for $0.88.
To determine which option is the best value, we need to calculate the price per ounce (oz) for each option. Here's how we can do it step-by-step for each choice.
- 32 oz bottle for $0.88
Price per ounce = [tex]\frac{0.88}{32} = 0.0275[/tex] USD/oz
- 12 pack of 12 oz bottles for $5.98
Total volume = 12 bottles × 12 oz = 144 oz
Price per ounce = [tex]\frac{5.98}{144} = 0.0415[/tex] USD/oz
- 8 pack of 20 oz bottles for $4.98
Total volume = 8 bottles × 20 oz = 160 oz
Price per ounce = [tex]\frac{4.98}{160} = 0.0311[/tex] USD/oz
Comparing the price per ounce for all options:
- 32 oz bottle: 0.0275 USD/oz
- 12 pack of 12 oz bottles: 0.0415 USD/oz
- 8 pack of 20 oz bottles: 0.0311 USD/oz
The lowest price per ounce is for the 32 oz bottle for $0.88.
