Question 183028: Jason comapred 2 brands of cooking oil sold in different size bottles
Brand A: 24 ounces for $1.68
Brand B: 32 ounces for $ 2.40
determine which brand has the betterr unit price

ok so i tried solving it by reducing 24 ounces to 3 and 1.68 dollars to .21 by dividing both numbers by 8
i did the same with 32 and 2.40
but if they were asking for the unit price, theyde probably want just 1 ounce and not 3 or 4. so thats where i need help. please help me

Brand A Unit Price:

24 oz = 1.68 dollars

---> 24/24 oz = 1.68/24

---> 1 oz = 0.07 dollars



Brand B Unit Price:

32 oz = 2.40 dollars

---> 32/32 oz = 2.40/32

---> 1 oz = 0.075 dollars


Brand A has the lower unit price
