B.10 cents
C.$4
D.40 cents
I think its either B or D. I divided

The answer is B.

can you explain how

10 cents is the closest to 8 cents as I explained in an earlier post.

Use a calculator and divide 1.80 by 22.3.

To find the price per ounce of the bag of apples, you need to divide the total cost by the weight of the bag of apples.

In this case, you divided the total cost, which is $1.80, by the weight of the bag of apples, which is 22.3 ounces.

$1.80 ÷ 22.3 ounces ≈ $0.080717 - rounded to 2 decimal places, this is approximately $0.08.

Therefore, the price per ounce of the bag of apples is approximately 8 cents or $0.08.

Comparing this result to the options provided, the correct answer would be B. 10 cents.
