Question

Suppose tortilla chips cost 22.5 cents per ounce. If a bag costs $3.07, how many ounces are in the bag of chips? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

Answer 1

13.64 ounces

Explanation:

Cost per ounce = $0.225

Cost per bag = $3.07

The number of ounces in a bag of chips is given by the cost per bag divided by the cost per ounce:

`n=(3.07)/(0.225)\\ n=13.64\ ounces`

There are 13.64 ounces in a bag of chips.
