    A. The 18-ounce jar is a better bargain. Just calculate what 6 ounces of each container will cost.

    B. The unit price for the 12-ounce jar is $0.1875 per ounce, while the unit price for the 18-ounce jar is $6.48 per quart.

    C. Well, yes. The price per ounce for the 18-ounce jar is $0.18 per ounce. The only reason you would think not is the illusion of different increments used for the unit price.
