To determine which brand is a better buy, we need to calculate the cost per ounce for both Brand A and Brand B.

Brand A:

  • Price: $44.66
  • Ounces: 14
  • Cost per ounce = Total Price / Ounces = $44.66 / 14 = $3.19 (approximately)

Brand B:

  • Price: $63.80
  • Ounces: 20
  • Cost per ounce = Total Price / Ounces = $63.80 / 20 = $3.19 (approximately)

Now we can compare the cost per ounce for both brands:

  • Brand A: $3.19 per ounce
  • Brand B: $3.19 per ounce

Because both brands cost the same per ounce, the answer is:

a. Both brands cost the same per ounce.
