Question

the price of a 14 oz box of crackers is $2.94. the price of a 20 oz box is $3.60. what is the difference in price per ounce ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The difference in price per ounce of the boxes is $0.03 or 3 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide each dollar amount by the ounces. The answer to $2.94 divided by 14 is 21 cents. $3.60 divided by 20 is 18 cents. Subtract 18 cents from 21 cents to get 3 cents.

Answer 2

Let D = difference in price per ounce

D = 2.94 ÷ 14 - 3.60 ÷ 20

D = 0.21 - 0.18

D = 0.03 or 3 cents.
