To find the cost of a certain weight of salami, we need to convert the weight from ounces to pounds and then multiply it by the cost per pound. Here's how you can calculate it:
1. Convert the weight from ounces to pounds:
- There are 16 ounces in a pound. Divide the weight in ounces by 16 to convert it to pounds. Let's call this value "pounds".
2. Calculate the cost of salami using the cost per pound:
- Multiply the weight in pounds by the cost per pound (c cents). This will give you the total cost of the salami in cents.
So, the formula to calculate the cost of a certain weight (in ounces) of salami would be:
Cost = (weight in ounces / 16) * c
Please provide the values for "c" (cost per pound) and "weight" (in ounces), and I'll be happy to help you calculate the cost.
