Answer 1

Answer:

0.1 cents per ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that you paid 88 cents for the whole bottle of ketchup and the whole body contains 9oz of ketchup. Every one ounce is equal to 9.8 cents. You simply need to divide the total amount of the item by the weight (9 ounces) to get 0.09 or 0.1 when rounded.

$\frac{88 cents}{9oz}=0.1 cents per ounce$
