$ per ounce

Answer 1

To find out how much more Yummy Yogurt costs per ounce compared to YoFruit, we first need to calculate the cost per ounce for both packages.

**For YoFruit:**
- Cost: $4.48
- Weight: 16 ounces

Cost per ounce for YoFruit:
\[
\text{Cost per ounce (YoFruit)} = \frac{4.48}{16} = 0.28 \text{ dollars per ounce}
\]

**For Yummy Yogurt:**
- Cost: $2.64
- Weight: 8 ounces

Cost per ounce for Yummy Yogurt:
\[
\text{Cost per ounce (Yummy Yogurt)} = \frac{2.64}{8} = 0.33 \text{ dollars per ounce}
\]

Now, we can calculate the difference in cost per ounce:
\[
\text{Difference} = \text{Cost per ounce (Yummy Yogurt)} - \text{Cost per ounce (YoFruit)} = 0.33 - 0.28 = 0.05 \text{ dollars per ounce}
\]

Thus, Yummy Yogurt costs **$0.05** more per ounce than YoFruit.
