A 4-pound bag of bananas costs $2.56. What is the price per ounce?


To find the price per ounce, we first need to convert the 4-pound weight into ounces. 

Since 1 pound = 16 ounces, a 4-pound bag contains:

\[
4 \times 16 = 64 \text{ ounces}
\]

Next, divide the total cost of the bag by the number of ounces to find the price per ounce:

\[
\frac{2.56}{64} = 0.04
\]

Thus, the price per ounce is **$0.04** or **4 cents**.
