Since $1.29 is the price for 3 packages, we can find the price of one package by dividing $1.29 by 3:
$$\frac{1.29}{3} = 0.43$$
So the price of one package of spaghetti sauce mix is $\boxed{\textbf{(B)}\ $0.43}$.
To find the price of one package of spaghetti sauce mix, we need to divide the total price by the number of packages in a dozen.
There are 12 packages in a dozen, and they are priced at 3 packages for $1.29.
Divide the total price of $1.29 by the number of packages (12) to find the price of one package:
$1.29 รท 12 = $0.1075.
Rounding this to the nearest cent, the price of one package of spaghetti sauce mix is approximately $0.11.
Since none of the given options match exactly, the closest answer is option B, $0.43.
