1 shell of slated peanuts = 30 cents of dollar/Ounce = $0.3/Ounce

Money available = $5
Required purchase = 1 pound of slated peanuts = 16 ounces of peanuts

Given the cost per ounce,

16 ounces pf peanuts = 0.3*16 = $4.8

Balance = $5-$4.8 = $0.2 = 20 cents

There, $5 can buy 1 pound of peanuts will a balance of 20 cents.
