To find the cost per ounce, divide the total cost of the bag by the number of ounces in the bag. In this case, the bag has 11 ounces and costs $1.99. Now, divide $1.99 by 11:
$1.99 / 11 = $0.18 (rounded to two decimal places)
So, the cost per ounce rounded to the nearest cent is $0.18.
To find the cost per pound, we need to convert the ounces to pounds first. Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, divide the number of ounces by 16:
11 ounces / 16 = 0.6875 pounds
Now, divide the total cost of the bag ($1.99) by the weight in pounds (0.6875):
$1.99 / 0.6875 = $2.89 (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, the cost per pound rounded to the nearest cent is $2.89.
