STEP 1

What is this asking? How much does one ounce of these yummy chocolate creams cost if a whole pound costs $7.52\$7.52? Watch out! Pounds and ounces are different!
Don't forget to convert!

STEP 2

1. Convert pounds to ounces
2. Calculate cost per ounce

STEP 3

We're given the price of **one pound** of chocolate creams.
We want the price per *ounce*.
So, we need to figure out how many ounces are in a pound!

STEP 4

There are **16** ounces in **one** pound.
This is our *key* conversion factor!
So, $7.52\$7.52 is the cost for **16** ounces of chocolatey goodness.
Write that down!

STEP 5

Now, we want the cost of just *one* ounce.
We know that **16** ounces cost $7.52\$7.52.
To find the cost of one ounce, we **divide** the total cost by the number of ounces.
Think of it like this: if you split the cost of $7.52\$7.52 evenly across all **16** ounces, how much would each ounce cost?

STEP 6

Let's do the math!
We're dividing $7.52\$7.52 by **16**:
$7.5216 \frac{\$7.52}{16}

STEP 7

Doing the division, we get:
$7.5216=$0.47 \frac{\$7.52}{16} = \$0.47

STEP 8

Remember what we did here!
We divided to one, by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 16.
The denominator becomes 1, and the numerator becomes the final result.

STEP 9

Since we want the answer in cents, we multiply the result by **100**:
$0.47100=47 cents \$0.47 \cdot 100 = 47 \text{ cents}

STEP 10

So, one ounce of these delicious chocolate creams costs **47¢**!
