Question

A 1-pound box of candy cost $4.00. What was the cost per ounce (1 pound = 16 ounces)?

Answer 1

Answer: 16/1 16x4 = 64/4

Answer 2

0.25

Explanation:

The cost per ounce of candy can be calculated by dividing the total cost of the box by the number of ounces in the box. Since 1 pound equals 16 ounces, the cost per ounce is $4.00 / 16 ounces = $0.25 per ounce.

So the cost per ounce of candy is $0.25.
