Answer 1

Price $0.75 per ounce of confetti

Explanation:

Given the statement: Yuki bought a pound of confetti for $12.

⇒
`1 pound = \$ 12` ......[1]

Also, it is given that there are 16 ounces in 1 pound.

⇒ 16 ounces = 1 pound .....[2]

To calculate the price, in dollars per ounce of confetti.

From [1] and [2] we have;

`16 ounces = \$12`

then;

1 ounces =
`(12)/(16) = (3)/(4) = \$0.75`

Therefore, the price, in dollars per ounce of confetti is, $0.75 per ounce.
