A 16-oz jar of spaghetti sauce cost $3.59. if the cost per ounce is the same, how much would a 40-oz jar cost?

A.$7.95

B.$8.98

C.$9.25

D.$10.77

B.$8.98

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to determine the cost per ounce. We divide the cost by the number of ounces

3.59/16 =.224375 per ounce

Take the price per ounce and multiply by the number of ounces to determine the price of the 40 ounce jar

.224375 * 40 = 8.975

Rounding to the nearest cent

8.98 for a 40 ounce jar
