Answer:

$0.04 per oz ( rounded to nearest cent)

Step-by-step explanation:

given

2 mangos ---> cost $0.99

1 mango -----> costs $0.99 ÷ 2 = $0.495

but we are also given than each mango is on the average 14 oz, hence

1 mango ---> weighs 14 oz -----> costs $0.495

1 oz ------> costs $0.495 ÷ 14 = $0.03536  (= $0.04 rounded to nearest cent)

First divide $0.99 by two Which rounds to $0.50

.50/14

Rounds to $0.04
