Question

A 2 pound of bag of corn costs $3.52. What is the price per ounce?

Answer 1

$0.11

Explanation:

Let's first find out how much 1 pound of corn costs. We know that 2 pounds costs $3.52, so to find the cost of 1 pound, we divide the known cost by 2:

3.52/2 = $1.76

There are 16 ounces in 1 pound, and we have $1.76/pound. To turn this to "per 1 oz", we divide it by 16: 1.76/16 = $0.11.

Thus, the answer is $0.11.

Hope this helps!
