To determine which is the best buy among the given options, we need to calculate the unit price for each item, which is the price per ounce. To find the unit price, divide the total price by the number of ounces. Here are the calculations for each option:
For 16 ounces at $2.40:
Unit price = $2.40 ÷ 16 ounces = $0.15 per ounce
For 20 ounces at $2.80:
Unit price = $2.80 ÷ 20 ounces = $0.14 per ounce
For 24 ounces at $3.00:
Unit price = $3.00 ÷ 24 ounces = $0.125 per ounce
For 12 ounces at $2.00:
Unit price = $2.00 ÷ 12 ounces = $0.1667 per ounce
Based on the unit prices, the best buy would be the option with the lowest unit price. In this case, the 24 ounces of hand soap for $3.00 has the lowest unit price of $0.125 per ounce. Therefore, the best buy among the given options is the 24 ounces of hand soap for $3.00.
