Jim paid $3.99 for a 14-ounce bag of cookies. What was the

Question

unit cost per pound?

Answer 1

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

There are 16 ounces in a pound, so:
14 ounces = 14/16 pounds = 0.875 pounds

Now, we can find the unit cost per pound by dividing the total cost by the weight in pounds:
$3.99 / 0.875 pounds = $4.56 per pound

Therefore, the unit cost per pound of the cookies was $4.56.
