Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

For option A:

4 pack of 3.2-ounce servings of applesauce cost $2.50. This implies that 4 × 3.2 ounce = 12.8 ounce servings of applesauce cost $2.50. Hence:

The unit rate = $2.50 / 12.8 ounce = $0.1953 per ounce

For option B:

24-ounce servings of applesauce cost $3.69. Hence:

The unit rate = $3.69 / 24 ounce = $0.15375 per ounce

From the unit rates of option A and option B, option B has a lesser unit rate, hence option B is a better buy.
