Both cup sizes cost the same per ounce.

Answer 1

To determine which cup size is a better deal per ounce, we can calculate the price per ounce for both the 12-oz and 20-oz cups of coffee.

For the 12-oz cup:

• Price: $2.70
• Ounces: 12 oz
• Price per ounce = Price / Ounces = $2.70 / 12 oz = $0.225 per ounce.

For the 20-oz cup:

• Price: $4.50
• Ounces: 20 oz
• Price per ounce = Price / Ounces = $4.50 / 20 oz = $0.225 per ounce.

Both cup sizes cost $0.225 per ounce.

Therefore, the correct response is:

Both cup sizes cost the same per ounce.
