The tortilla chips have a cost of 34.5 cents per ounce, the problem indicates that we need to find the cost for a 26 oz bag of tortilla chips

To do this we must multiply the price of an ounce of tortilla chips by 26

$34.5\cdot26=897$

The cost for a 26-ounce bag of cookies is 897 cents, if we look at this in dollars, your price is 8.97 dollars
