Answer:

$8.99

Step-by-step explanation:

1 pound = 16 ounces

y pound = 8 ounces

[tex]\frac{1}{16} :\frac{y}{8}[/tex]

y · 16 = 1 · 8

16y = 8

16y ÷ 16 = 8 ÷ 16

y = 0.5

0.5 pound = 8 ounces

----------------------------------

1 pound = $17.98

0.5 pound = y

[tex]\frac{1}{17.98} :\frac{0.5}{y}[/tex]

y · 1 = 17.98 · 0.5

y = $8.99
