Answer 1

To determine which brand costs the least per ounce, we need to calculate the cost per ounce for each brand.

1. Brand A:

   • Cost: $0.88 for 4 oz
   • Cost per ounce: \( \frac{0.88}{4} = 0.22 \) dollars per ounce

2. Brand B:

   • Cost: $1.05 for 5 oz
   • Cost per ounce: \( \frac{1.05}{5} = 0.21 \) dollars per ounce

3. Brand C:

   • Cost: $1.60 for 8 oz
   • Cost per ounce: \( \frac{1.60}{8} = 0.20 \) dollars per ounce

4. Brand D:

   • Cost: $2.28 for 12 oz
   • Cost per ounce: \( \frac{2.28}{12} = 0.19 \) dollars per ounce

Now let's compare the costs per ounce:

• Brand A: $0.22/oz
• Brand B: $0.21/oz
• Brand C: $0.20/oz
• Brand D: $0.19/oz

Conclusion: Brand D costs the least per ounce at $0.19.
