Celeste Maynard · Answer 1

700 ml bottle of Brand X chocolate sauce costs $10.50

1 liter brand Y costs $12.50

100ml brand Z costs $2.00

brand X costs 700/10.5 = $66.67 per ml

brand Y costs 1000ml/12.50=$80 per ml

brand Z costs 100/2=$50 per ml

so the cheapest band to buy is brand Z because 1 ml costs $50
