Answer 2

Answer:

$6.08

Step-by-step explanation:

Mohsin purchased a 30-ounce bag of dried Turkish figs for $11.40.

⇒ 30 ounces of dried Turkish figs = $11.40

Finding the cost per ounces:

30 ounces of dried Turkish figs/30 = $11.40

⇒ 30 ounces of dried Turkish figs/30 = $11.40/30

⇒ 1 ounce of dried Turkish figs = $0.38

Finding the cost per pounds:

1 pound ↔ 16 ounces

⇒ 1 ounce of dried Turkish figs = $0.38

⇒ 1 ounce of dried Turkish figs × 16 = $0.38 × 16

⇒ 16 ounces of dried Turkish figs = $6.08
