Answer 1

The unit cost per ounce for turkey skylar is $ 0.316

Explanation:

The total amount of sliced turkey = 5 pounds + 4 ounces

The total cost of turkey slice = $26.88

Now, as we know

1 pounds = 16 ounces

∴ 5 pounds = 16 × 5 = 80 ounces

So, the total amount is 5 pounds + 80 pounds = 85 pounds

∵ 85 pounds of turkey sliced cost $ 26.88

∴ 1 pounds of turkey sliced cost $
`(26.88)/(85)` = $ 0.316

Hence the unit cost per ounce for turkey skylar is $ 0.316 Answer
