? Round your answer to the nearest cent, if necessary

Answer 1

The answer is $1.69

Answer 2

397 cents or $3.97.

Explanation:

We have been given that corn chips cost 30.5 cents per ounce. We are asked to find the cost of bag which contains 13 oz.

To find the cost of bag which contains 13 oz, we will multiply 13 by 30.5 as:

`\text{Cost of 13 oz bag}=30.5* 13`

`\text{Cost of 13 oz bag}=396.5`

Round to nearest cent:

`\text{Cost of 13 oz bag}\approx 397`

Therefore, the cost of 13 oz bag would be 397 cents or $3.97.
