    Can of Coke

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Calculate how much money each ounce of drink costs, or the money per ounce ($/oz).

    Coke:

    $/oz = $1 : 12oz = $0.083333/oz

    Pepsi:

    $/oz = $1.35 : 16oz = $0.084375/oz

    Coke < Pepsi

    0.083333 < 0.084375

    The calculations show that you would pay more money for one ounce of Pepsi than for one ounce of Coke. Coke costs less than Pepsi.

    Therefore the can of Coke is the best buy.
