Question

Find the price per unit, $17.99 for 20g converted into oz.

Answer 1

1g = .035274 oz, so 20g = (20)(.035274) = .70548 oz

17.99 for .70548 = .70548/17.99 = .039 rounds to 4 cents per ounce

or
17.99/20 = .899 rounds to 90 cents per gram
and 1 g = .035274 oz
.035274/.90 = .039 rounds to 4 cents per oz

Answer 2

Ah, thank you. I was confused because I thought I was getting a ridiculous number but it was because I didn't divide .70548 by 17.99!

Answer 3

it is a kind of confusing problem. But the 17.99 was for 20g, or .70548 oz.....you want it for 1 ounce.

Answer 4

Sorry but if I were to have .05oz into that one unit, what would that price be if it's possible to find out? Lol, because I'm trying to calculate how much each and every ingredient I have costs per unit. It's so ridiculous how my teacher wants to know this stuff even though I'll be making it in bulk in real life.

Answer 5

Is it still 17.99 for 20 g ? And you want to find out how much it is for 5 oz ?

Answer 6

oops .05oz

Answer 7

So this is one ingredient out of 5 that are being put into a .25oz container. That one was $17.99 and it was 0.04/oz. I'll be putting in around 0.05oz into that one container.

Answer 8

its 17.99 for .04 oz....is that what you are saying ? And you want to find out how much it would cost for .05 oz ?

Answer 9

It was $0.04/oz wasn't it? Sorry if I'm confusing you.

Answer 10

Nevermind, it's okay thanks or your help lol

Answer 11

yes...I am sorry...my brain got lost..lol.

Answer 12

Yeah, the product was a .25oz tube of lip balm and my teacher wanted the precise price for each and every ingredient put into it. But my problem is, is that my product uses things that are smaller than 1 ounce and that would seriously be like $0. You get what I'm saying? It's ridiculous what my teacher expects.

Answer 13

sounds crazy to me. I think I did that right. We should probably get someone over to check this and see if I did it correctly.

Answer 14

@primeralph ....please check this

Answer 15

@SolomonZelman ....help

Answer 16

No, it's really okay. I'll just fake the measurements.

Answer 17

are you sure ?

Answer 18

Yeah, I'll just try manipulating the prices. Thank you so much for your consideration.

Answer 19

no problem...I just hope I told you right :)

Answer 20

Yeah, thanks. c:

Answer 21

Drum roll.

Answer 22

I changed it to grams. Fixed my problem, lol.

Answer 23

I was tagged.

Answer 24

yes...I had to see if I did the problem correctly. It just looks weird, because we are dealing with less then an ounce

Answer 25

Yeah, I had to change everything into grams because all the ingredients before this were calculated in ounces so I had to make this one match the others but I realized I should've kept that one as grams and change everything else.

Answer 26

Should be 17.99$/0.705485oz

Answer 27

Oh yeah thanks.

Answer 28

oh...I put the numbers in the wrong place

Answer 29

Yeah.

Answer 30

Answer 31

Answer 32
