Question

Suppose potato chips cost 24.5 cents per ounce. If a bag costs $3.23, how many ounces are in the bag of chips? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

Answer 1

one bag of chips costs $3.23

one once of chips costs 24.5 cents = $0.245

therefore, there are the following number of ounces inside the bag:

$\frac{3.23}{0.245}=13.18$

So, the answer is 13.18 ounces
