$9.95 for 30 oz or $3.50 for 12 oz

Answer 1

To determine which option offers the better value, we can calculate the price per ounce for each option.

1. For the $9.95 for 30 oz:

   \[ \text{Price per ounce} = \frac{9.95}{30} \approx 0.3317 \text{ (or about 33.17 cents per ounce)} \]

2. For the $3.50 for 12 oz:

   \[ \text{Price per ounce} = \frac{3.50}{12} \approx 0.2917 \text{ (or about 29.17 cents per ounce)} \]

Comparison:

• $9.95 for 30 oz is about 33.17 cents per ounce.
• $3.50 for 12 oz is about 29.17 cents per ounce.

Thus, the $3.50 for 12 oz is the better value.
