To determine which box is less expensive per ounce, we need to calculate the price per ounce for each box.
First, let's calculate the price per ounce for the 32 ounce box:
Price per ounce = Total price / Total ounces
Price per ounce = $4.16 / 32 ounces
Price per ounce = $0.13
Next, let's calculate the price per ounce for the 14 ounce box:
Price per ounce = Total price / Total ounces
Price per ounce = $2.38 / 14 ounces
Price per ounce ≈ $0.17
Comparing the two calculations, we can see that the 32 ounce box has a lower price per ounce ($0.13) compared to the 14 ounce box ($0.17). Therefore, the 32 ounce box is less expensive per ounce.
