Okay, if EACH ounce of peanuts costed 24 cents, and you want to buy 1.2 ounces, you multiply 24 by 1.2:

0.24 * 1.2 = 0.288 cents.

Round to 0.29 cents.

Answer:

$0.29

Explanation:

Multiply the unit weight ($0.24/ounce) by the weight (1.2 oz.):

$0.24 1.2 oz

.24 * 1.2 = $0.288

So, the rounded answer will be $0.29
