Answer 1

Answer: Brand A

Brand A gives more value

Explanation:

Brand A Is the better buy. Why? Because you will get more value from it. 2.48 multiplied by 21.6 is 53, while with brand B, 1.55 multiplied by 12.9 is 19.9. You will get more value from Brand A than B.

Answer 2

Brand A

Explanation:

To determine which brand of dish detergent is the better buy, we need to compare the price per ounce of each brand.

Brand A:

• Price: $2.48

• Size: 21.6 ounces

Brand B:

• Price: $1.55

• Size: 12.9 ounces

To calculate the price per ounce, we divide the price by the size:

• 
  `\texttt{Brand A: \$2.48 /$ 21.6 ounces = \$0.115 per ounce}`

• 
  `\texttt{Brand B: \$1.55 /$ 12.9 ounces = \$0.120 per ounce}`

Based on the calculations, Brand A has a lower price per ounce compared to Brand B. Therefore, Brand A is the better buy in terms of cost efficiency.
