There are 252 pieces of candy in a 14-ounce jar. how many pieces of candy are there per ounce in the jar? 18 0.056 3,528 9

"Per" essentially means "divided by." To find pieces per ounce, divide pieces by ounces.

(252 pieces)/(14 ounces) = (252/14) pieces/ounce = 18 pieces/ounce

$53.50

step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract the amount of money chuck earned ($72.50) by the cost of the gas for the mower ($11.25) and the new string for the trimmer he bought ($7.75).

72.50-11.25=61.25

and then subtract $61.25 by the second thing he bought (the new string for the trimmer)

61.25-7.75=53.5

so in total it's $53.50 (53 dollars and 50 cents)
