We have been given that bought a pound of confetti for $12. We are asked to find price per ounce of confetti.

We know that 1 pound equals 16 ounces. To find cost of per ounce confetti, we will divide total cost by 16 as:

$\text{Cost of per ounce confetti}=\frac{\ 12}{16}$

$\text{Cost of per ounce confetti}=\ 0.75$

Therefore, the cost of per ounce confetti is $0.75
