Answer 2

there are 35 pennies in the per ounce of jar.

Explanation:

Let us suppose there are x penny in per ounce in the jar.

We have been given that there are 420 pennies in a 12 ounce jar.

Therefore, we can make the below proportion

`(12)/(420)=(1)/(x)`

Let us solve this proportion for x which will give us the required amount of penny.

`12x=420`

Divide both sides by 12

`x=35`

Hence, there are 35 pennies in the per ounce of jar.
