Your answer?

Answer 2

I can't seem to find your choice.
Just divide the cost by the number of pints to get the unit cost.
btw, the second case gives you the unit cost

Answer 3

Okay thank you Reiny. Thank you Ms. Sue. I think my answer I am going for is A. 1/2 pint

Answer 4

You went for the most expensive oil.
What made you decide it was A ?
I am interested in your method.

Answer 5

If you get the unit rates for each using 1 pint as your unit, you will find the 5 pints at $8.10 is the best deal.
1/2 pint at $.90 comes to $1.80 per pint
1 pint at $1.65
2 pints at $3.40 comes to $1.70 per pint
5 pints at $8.10 comes to $1.62 per pint
