There are 13 ounces of potato chips in the bag.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Cost of potato chips per ounce = 27.5 cents
Cost of bag of potato chips = $3.59 = 3.59*100 = 359 cents
Let,
x be the ounces in bag.
Cost per ounce*ounces in bag = Cost of bag
[tex]27.5x=359[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 27.5
[tex]\frac{27.5x}{27.5}=\frac{359}{27.5}\\x=13.05[/tex]
Rounding off to nearest whole number;
x=13
There are 13 ounces of potato chips in the bag.
