Answer 1

To find the price per ounce of the chocolates, divide the cost by the weight in ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the price per ounce of the chocolates, we need to convert the weight of the box from grams to ounces. Since 1 ounce is approximately 28.35 grams, the weight of the box in ounces is 226.8 / 28.35 = 7.9992 ounces (rounded to 4 decimal places). Next, we divide the cost of the chocolates by the weight in ounces to get the price per ounce: $14.99 / 7.9992 ≈ $1.87. Therefore, the correct answer is $1.87 per ounce.
