anonymous · Answer

I'd equalize the amount in the "9 ounces per" group to be equal to the pound.

anonymous · Answer

Or you could just bring the pound group down to 9 ounces.

Or you could do $$\frac{ ounces }{ cost }$$ type that into your calculator and get a decimal rate and then compare to see which one one is lower.

And convert a pound to 16 ounces
