<PRE><B>Question 791484</B>
1 pound = 16 ounces


5 pounds = 80 ounces (multiply both sides by 5)


----------------------------


$54.45 to buy four 5lb. containers


so


$54.45 to buy four 80 oz containers


So that means that $54.45 will get you 4*80 = 320 ounces of cheese total


-------------------------------


(54.45 dollars)/(320 oz)


(54.45/320)*(dollars/oz)


0.17015625 dollars/oz


17.015625 cents/oz


17.02 cents/oz


So it&#39;s roughly 17.02 cents per ounce</PRE>
