What is division?
Division is the process of splitting a number or an amount into equal parts.
here, we have,
You can buy 20 fluid ounces of shampoo for $4.40
and, 24 fluid ounces for $4.80.
now,
First you have to do 440 / 20, which is 22 cents per** bottle**
Next you have to do 480 / 24, which is 20 cents per bottle

The second option of 24 fluid ounces for $4.80 is the better buy, costing 20 cents per ounce compared to the first option which costs 22 cents per ounce. Therefore, purchasing the larger quantity offers a better value. Always compare the price per unit to find the best deal.
