One pound is 16 ounces, so we have to add 16 ounces and 5 ounces to come up with 21 ounces.
Now, let’s multiply 9.95 by 100 to make it easier to divide. Now we have 995.
Divide 995 by 21 and you’ll get 47.4. But, since be multiplied by 100, we now have to divide by 100 to return it to its original form so our new answer is $0.474, which when rounded to the nearest cent is $0.47.

So, the answer is D
