Which costs the most per ounce, 60 oz. of peanut butter for $5.40, 28 oz. for $2.24, or 16 oz. for $1.76? Explain how you got your answer.

28 oz. for $2.24 cost most per ounce

$12.5 per oz

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the cost per ounce by dividing the total oz by cost of the total oz

60 oz. of peanut butter for $5.40

Cost per the ounce = 60 oz / $5.40

= $11.11 per oz

28 oz. for $2.24

Cost of peanut butter per ounce = 28 oz / $2.24

= $12.5 per oz

16 oz. for $1.76?

Cost of peanut butter per ounce = 16 oz / $1.76

= $9.10 per oz

28 oz. for $2.24 cost most per ounce

$3720

step-by-step explanation:

taxable income = $31000

as per the 2018-2019 us tax bracket, the tax rate is 12% for an individual whose taxable income is between $9,526 to $38,700.

so, the tax to be paid by him = 12% of 31000

= 0.12 * 31000     [12% converted to decimal as 0.12]

= $3720
