Question
What is the cost per ounce of a 3-lb 14-oz bag of rice being sold for 16.80?
(Enter you answer to two decimals as in all dollars and cents questions.)
Solution
Sure, let's break it down:
-
First, we need to convert the weight of the rice to ounces, since the question asks for the cost per ounce. There are 16 ounces in a pound, so a 3-lb bag of rice is 3 * 16 = 48 ounces.
-
The bag also includes an additional 14 ounces, so the total weight of the bag is 48 + 14 = 62 ounces.
-
Now, we can calculate the cost per ounce by dividing the total cost of the bag by the total weight in ounces. So, 0.27 per ounce.
So, the cost per ounce of the rice is $0.27.
