Question

If a box of chocolate costs $8.00 and weighs 1 lb.
what is the cost per ounce?

Answer 1

$0.50 per ounce

Explanation:

To find the cost per ounce of the chocolate, you will need to divide the price of the box by the weight of the box in ounces. Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, the weight of the box in ounces is 1 * 16 = <<1*16=16>>16 ounces.

To find the cost per ounce, divide the price of the box by the weight of the box in ounces: $8.00 / 16 ounces = $0.50 per ounce.

Therefore, the cost per ounce of the chocolate is $0.50.
