Answer:

A.  12 oz. for $1.47

B. 16 oz for $0.77

C.  5 cans for 1.79

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Divide them both, cost by quantity.

 0.99/8=0.123

  1.47/12=0.1225

The second option is better since its 0.005 less than the first option.

B. Again, divide both options.

   0.77/16=0.04125

    1.50/31=0.04838

     Second option because it is 0.00713 cents cheaper.

C.  1.77/3=0.59

     1.79/5= 0.36

       Second option is .23 cents cheaper than the first option.
