To determine which carton of orange juice offers the better value, we need to compare the price per ounce for each option. Here's how to do it:
1. Calculate the price per ounce for the 32-oz carton:
\(\[ \text{Price per ounce for 32-oz carton} = \frac{\$2.56}{32 \text{ oz}} = \$0.08 \text{ per ounce} \]\)
2. Calculate the price per ounce for the 48-oz carton:
\(\[ \text{Price per ounce for 48-oz carton} = \frac{\$3.36}{48 \text{ oz}} = \$0.07 \text{ per ounce} \]\)
Comparing the two values:
- The 32-oz carton costs \(\$0.08\) per ounce.
- The 48-oz carton costs \(\$0.07\) per ounce.
Therefore, the 48-oz carton offers the better value because it has a lower cost per ounce.
