Answer:

it would cost $0.74 = 74 cents

Explanation:

The cost of one ounce of tomato = $0.37

1 portion of potato gnocchi requires 2 ounces of tomato sauce.

To find the cost of one portion of the potato gnocchi, we have to simply find the cost of 2 ounces of tomato sauce.

That is:

Cost = 2 * 0.37 = $0.74

Hence, one portion of potato gnocchi costs $0.74

Since $1 = 100 cents, the cost in cents will be:

0.74 * 100 = 74 cents
