Answer 2

The correct answer is option B $3.92 for 8 ounces.

Explanation:

In order to make this exercise we must better understand the information we have.

If X amount of ounces cost a certain amount of money, to know its price per unit, we simply have to divide that total of money by the amount of ounces, which will give us the price of a single ounce.

So:

A) $ 5.04: 14 = 0.36

B) $ 3.92: 8 = 0.49

C) $ 4.92: 12 = 0.41

D) $ 4.25: 10 = 0.425

In this way we can see that the cereal that costs more per ounce is that of option B.
