Answer 8

Cost of 8 ounce jar is $8.95

Answer 9

Cost of 1 ounce jar is 8.95/8 =1.12

Answer 10

Cost of 10 ounce jar is $12.00

Answer 11

Cost of 1 ounce jar is 12/10=1.2

Answer 12

So 8 ounce jar is better since its unit price is less than 10 ounce jar.
The difference in the unit prices=1.2-1.12=$0.08
