Guy paid $3.59 for a 10-ounce bag of cookies. What was the
unit cost per pound?
See my answer to your later post of same question
To find the unit cost per pound, we need to know the cost per ounce and convert it to pounds. Here's how to calculate it:
1. Start by finding the cost per ounce. Divide the total cost of the bag of cookies ($3.59) by the number of ounces in the bag (10 ounces):
Cost per ounce = $3.59 / 10 ounces = $0.359 per ounce
2. Next, we need to convert the cost per ounce to the cost per pound. Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, we can divide the cost per ounce by 16 to get the cost per pound:
Cost per pound = $0.359 / 16 = $0.0224375 per pound
Rounding to two decimal places, the unit cost per pound of the cookies is approximately $0.02.
