Guy paid $3.59 for a 10-ounce bag of cookies. What was the

unit cost per pound?

1 answer

To find the unit cost per pound, we first need to convert the weight of the cookies from ounces to pounds.

There are 16 ounces in 1 pound. So, 10 ounces is equal to 10/16 = 0.625 pounds.

Now, we can calculate the unit cost per pound by dividing the total cost by the weight in pounds:

Unit cost per pound = $3.59 / 0.625 pounds
Unit cost per pound = $5.74

Therefore, the unit cost per pound of the cookies is $5.74.
