First, we need to determine how many ounces of strawberries Samir bought. Since 1 pound equals 16 ounces, for 3 pounds of strawberries:
\[
3 \text{ pounds} \times 16 \text{ ounces/pound} = 48 \text{ ounces}
\]
Now that we know Samir bought 48 ounces of strawberries for a total of $12.00, we can calculate the price per ounce by dividing the total cost by the number of ounces:
\[
\text{Price per ounce} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Total Ounces}} = \frac{12.00}{48}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
\text{Price per ounce} = 0.25
\]
Thus, the price of strawberries is **$0.25 per ounce**.
\[
3 \text{ pounds} \times 16 \text{ ounces/pound} = 48 \text{ ounces}
\]
Now that we know Samir bought 48 ounces of strawberries for a total of $12.00, we can calculate the price per ounce by dividing the total cost by the number of ounces:
\[
\text{Price per ounce} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Total Ounces}} = \frac{12.00}{48}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
\text{Price per ounce} = 0.25

Thus, the price of strawberries is **$0.25 per ounce**.
