Ok so what you do is take the ounces times the unit price. so for instance, Squeky Clean would be 5.5 time $0.36 with is $1.98. hope it helps!

To figure out the unit price (in this case the price per ounce), divide the number of ounces into the total price. Since you'll be using decimals, just remember about the carets.

Unit Price= Total Price / Ounces
Squeaky..0.36/5.5=0.065 / oz.
Smell.......0.41/7.5=0.055 / oz.
Feel.........0.31/4.5=0.069 / oz.
Look........0.44/6.5=0.068 / oz.
Based on price, Smell is the best buy.
