Best Answer

-- take the total cost for the whole bottle, box, bag, jug, or barrel

-- divide it by the number of ounces in the container

The number you have now is the cost per ounce.

Note: The cost per ounce may be different if you buy a bigger or smaller bottle, box, bag, jug or barrel full.

Stuff usually costs less per ounce when you buy it in bigger containers.

To find the cost per ounce, divide the total cost by the number of ounces. For example, if an item costs $5 and weighs 10 ounces, the cost per ounce would be $5 divided by 10 ounces, which equals $0.50 per ounce.
