Ajax · Answer 1

So you divide 2.19 by 18 and you get. 12 so it cost 12 cents per ounce

then you divide 4.39 by 48 and you get. 09 so it cost 9 cents per ounce

So it would be better idea to but the 48 ounce jar because it costs less oer ounce of peanut butter

Aarav · Answer 2

2.19/18 = 0.12167 per ounce

4.39/48 = 0.09 per ounce

the larger jar is the better buy
