Question

In bulk, jelly beans cost 18 cents per ounce. What is the cost of the jelly beans in dollars per pound?

Answer 1

So we know that there are 16 ounces in one pound, so let's multiply to find how many cents one pound of jelly beans cost:

$16*8=128cents$

And we know that there are 100 cents in one dollar, so let's divide this by 100:

$\frac{128}{100}=1.28$

So the jelly beans cost $1.28 per pound.
