Question

Suppose potato chips cost 28.5 cents per ounce. What would a bag of chips cost if it contained 30oz? Round your answer to the nearest cent, if necessary.

Answer 1

Answer: $8.55

Step-by-step explanation: I could be wrong, but 28.5 x 30 = 855

Move decimal two places to the right = 8.55

You don’t need to round because 8.55 to the nearest cent consider the thousandths' value of 8.55, which is 0 and less than 5. Therefore, the cents value of 8.55 remains 5.

Answer is $8.55
