Based on the data in the table, which brand of soda costs the least per ounce?

Brand B

Brand D

Brand C

Brand A

Answer 1

To find the brand of soda that costs the least per ounce, we need to divide the cost by the size for each brand.

For brand A: $2.10 / 24 ounces = $0.0875 per ounce
For brand B: $1.80 / 20 ounces = $0.09 per ounce
For brand C: $1.50 / 16 ounces = $0.09375 per ounce
For brand D: $1.25 / 12 ounces = $0.1041667 per ounce

Based on these calculations, brand B has the lowest cost per ounce at $0.09.
