1 oz cost  x                  This is a proportion. 3 quatities are known. Find x Cross multiply.

15 oz cost 5.25

1 oz costs x

15.1/1 = 5,25 x              Cross Multiply

15x = 5.25 * 1               Divide by 15                                

x = 5.25 / 15

x = $0.35

26 oz

26 oz cost 8.58

1 oz   cost x

26/1 = 8.38/x                 Cross Multiply

26x  = 8.38                    Divide by 26

x = 8.38/20

x = 0.32 dollars

Answer

7 oz cost  0.34

15 oz cost 0.35

26 oz cost 0.32

The best buy is 0.32 / oz for 26 oz
