Question

suppose tortilla chips cost 34.5 cents per ounce. what would a bag of chips cost if it contained 26 oz? round your answer to the nearest cent, if necessary.

Answer 1

The tortilla chips have a cost of 34.5 cents per ounce, the problem indicates that we need to find the cost for a 26 oz bag of tortilla chips

To do this we must multiply the price of an ounce of tortilla chips by 26

`34.5\cdot26=897`

The cost for a 26-ounce bag of cookies is 897 cents, if we look at this in dollars, your price is 8.97 dollars
