Question

You buy halibut at $27 per pound. One portion of seared halibut requires 6 ounces of halibut. How much does the halibut for one portion cost? Round to the nearest cent

Answer 1

$10.12

Explanation:

first, find the price of one ounce of halibut, by dividing $27 by 16 because there are 16 ounces in a pound, and you get 1.6875. then you multiply that by how many ounces you are buying, which is 6, so your answer is 10.125. round to the nearest cent.
