Greetings!

First off, we know that this question is asking for the price per ounce, Therefore, we will be dividing.

$14.08 ÷ 8 = 1.76

The price per ounce is $1.76.

Hope this helps!

Hello there!

8 pound bag = $14.08

1 ounce = x

8x = 14.08

x = 14.08/8

x = 1.76

Thus, the price per ounce is $1.76

To double check if your answer is right or not, just multiply $1.76 by 8 and you'll see it equals to $14.08

Let me know if you have additional questions!
