    The coldrink is more expensive in Can form.

    Can is $0.044/oz more expensive than bottle

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    Cost of 12-oz can = 75 cents = $0.75

    Cost of 2 Liter bottle = $1.25

    Now,

    Cost per oz for can = $0.75 : 12

    = $0.0625/oz

    For bottle

    Total oz contained = 2 * 1.057 * 32 oz [As 1.0 L = 1.057 qt, 1 qt = 32 oz]

    = 67.648 oz

    Therefore,

    Cost per oz for bottle = $1.25 : 67.648 oz

    = $0.0185/oz

    Hence,

    The coldrink is more expensive in Can form.

    Difference = $0.0625/oz - $0.0185/oz

    = $0.044/oz

    Hence,

    Can is $0.044/oz more expensive than bottle
