1. **State the problem:** We need to find the unit price (price per ounce) for each bottle of dish soap and determine which is the better deal.
2. **Formula:** The unit price is calculated by dividing the total price by the number of ounces:
$$\text{Unit Price} = \frac{\text{Total Price}}{\text{Ounces}}$$
3. **Calculate the unit price for the 23 oz bottle:**
$$\text{Unit Price}_{23} = \frac{5.35}{23}$$
4. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$\text{Unit Price}_{23} = \frac{\cancel{5.35}}{\cancel{23}} = 0.2326$$
5. **Calculate the unit price for the 37 oz bottle:**
$$\text{Unit Price}_{37} = \frac{9.11}{37}$$
6. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$\text{Unit Price}_{37} = \frac{\cancel{9.11}}{\cancel{37}} = 0.2465$$
7. **Compare the unit prices:**
- 23 oz bottle unit price: $0.2326$ per oz
- 37 oz bottle unit price: $0.2465$ per oz
Since $0.2326 < 0.2465$, the 23 oz bottle is the better deal.
**Final answer:**
- The unit price of the 23 oz bottle is $0.2326$ per oz.
- The unit price of the 37 oz bottle is $0.2465$ per oz.
- The better deal is the 23 oz bottle for $5.35.
