Solution

To find the unit price for each size, you need to divide the cost of the bottle by the number of ounces it contains.

For the 12.6-ounce bottle: 2.37÷12.6ounces=2.37 ÷ 12.6 ounces = 0.188 per ounce

For the 25.3-ounce bottle: 5.24÷25.3ounces=5.24 ÷ 25.3 ounces = 0.207 per ounce

Therefore, the 12.6-ounce bottle has a lower unit price and is the better buy based on the unit price.
