Final answer:
To calculate the Cost Per Ounce (COP) of walnuts, convert the weight to ounces and divide the total cost by the total weight in ounces. A 1.5-pound bag equaling 24 ounces and costing $12.99 gives the COP when divided.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student's question seems to be asking how to determine the Cost Per Ounce (COP) of walnuts, given that a 1.5-pound bag costs $12.99. First, we need to convert the weight of the walnuts from pounds to ounces. Since there are 16 ounces in 1 pound, a 1.5-pound bag is equivalent to 24 ounces (1.5 x 16).
Next, to find the COP, we divide the total cost of the bag by the number of ounces. The COP is calculated as follows:
COP = Total Cost / Total Weight in Ounces
COP = $12.99 / 24 ounces
The exact COP can be calculated using a calculator, and the units will be in dollars per ounce.
