Question

A 9-pound box of grapes costs $33.12. What is the price per ounce?

A. $0.33
B. $0.36
C. $0.39
D. $0.42

Answer 1

1 pound is 16 ounces. If $33.12 is 9 pounds. It’s the same as saying $33.12 is 144 ounces since we multiply 9 by 16. It’s asking for price per ounce. So, 33.12÷144. Which is 0.23 and since none of the choices are 0.23. Choices are wrong not us.

Hope that answers your question.

Answer 2

To find the price per ounce of the grapes, we convert the pounds to ounces and divide the total cost by the number of ounces. The price per ounce is $0.23.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the price per ounce, we need to convert the 9-pound box of grapes into ounces. Since there are 16 ounces in 1 pound, we multiply 9 by 16 to get 144 ounces.

Next, we divide the total cost of $33.12 by 144 ounces to find the price per ounce.

$33.12 divided by 144 equals $0.23 per ounce.

Therefore, the price per ounce of the grapes is $0.23 per ounce.
