Question

Suppose potato chips cost 32.5 cents per ounce. What would a bag of chips cost if it contained 18 oz? Round your answer to the nearest cent

Answer 1

if we have the cost for 1 oz, we can find the total cost of the bag with the total content of the bag and using the multiplication of both

$32.5\frac{cents}{oz}\cdot18\frac{oz}{\text{bag}}=585\frac{cents}{bag}$
