Question

Ganjina buys 5 pounds of turkey for $21.25. How much does she pay per ounce? * 1 pound = 16 ounces

Answer 1

To find the answer to this question, we need to convert 5 pounds into ounces:

`5lb\cdot(16ounce)/(1lb)=80\text{ounces}`

Then, we need to divide the total price by the total ounces:

`(21.25)/(80)=0.265\approx0.27`

Then, Ganjina pays $0.27 per ounce or 27 cents per ounce.
