To calculate how many grams of protein Luisa consumed, we'll first need to determine how many calories of pretzels she ate and then convert that to protein.

  1. Calculate the protein per ounce:

    • There are 28.35 grams in one ounce. With the nutritional facts provided per serving (presumably per ounce or another serving size), we need to ensure we use the correct ratio.
    • From the provided data, we can first calculate the grams of protein in an ounce if 108 calories correspond to a certain serving size (which is assumed here as 1 ounce or 28.35 g for calculation).
  2. Calculate total protein consumed in 3 ounces:

    • Protein in 1 ounce of pretzels = 2.93 g
    • Therefore, for 3 ounces, the total protein would be: \[ \text{Total protein} = 2.93 \text{ g/ounce} \times 3 \text{ ounces} = 8.79 \text{ g} \]

So, the correct answer is 8.79 g.
