Question

A shopper bought a 12- pound bag of oranges for 18.75. What is the unit price per ounces?

Answer 1

Option A is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

              1 pound = 16 ounces

              12 pound = 12 x 16 ounces   = 192 ounces

A shopper bought a 12- pound bag of oranges for 18.75.

That is

         Price of 12 pounds = 18.75    

         Price of 192 ounces = 18.75

         $\texttt{Price of 1 ounce = }\frac{18.75}{192}\\\\\texttt{Price of 1 ounce = }=0.098$

Option A is the correct answer.

Answer 2

18.75 divided by 12 equals about 1.56 so therefore it is C :)
