If pasta sells for $3.55 for a 20-ounce box
a. What is the price per ounce? Round to the nearest cent.
$3.55/20 = $.18 per ounce
b. How many ounces do you get per dollar? Round to the nearest tenth of an ounce.
I'm not sure how to solve this answer.
Thank you.
1.00 / 0.18 = ?
To determine how many ounces you get per dollar, you need to calculate the ratio of ounces to dollars.
First, let's take a look at the price per ounce, which we calculated in part (a) to be $0.18 per ounce.
To find the number of ounces you get per dollar, divide $1 by the price per ounce.
$1 / $0.18 = 5.56 ounces
Therefore, you get approximately 5.6 ounces per dollar (rounded to the nearest tenth of an ounce).
