Answer 2

Option A is the correct answer.

Explanation:

We have

1 pound = 16 ounces

12 pound = 12 x 16 ounces = 192 ounces

A shopper bought a 12- pound bag of oranges for 18.75.

That is

Price of 12 pounds = 18.75

Price of 192 ounces = 18.75

`\texttt{Price of 1 ounce = }(18.75)/(192)\\\\\texttt{Price of 1 ounce = }=0.098`

Option A is the correct answer.
