Question

A 2-pound box of grapes costs $3.20. What is the price per ounce?

Answer 1

Given:

The price of 2 pound box is $3.20.

Step-by-step explanation:

In one pound there are 16 ounces.

Determine the ounces in 2 pound box.

`\begin{gathered} 2\text{ pound = 2 pound}*\frac{16\text{ ounces}}{1\text{ pound}} \\ =32\text{ ounces} \end{gathered}`

So price of 32 ounces is $3.20.

Determine the price of one ounce (or price per ounce).

`(3.20)/(32)=0.1`

So price of grapes per ounce is $0.1.

Answer: $0.1
