Find the unit cost. Round to the nearest tenth of a cent.
Doritos Cool Ranch chips, 14.5 ounces for $2.49

To find the unit cost, divide the total price by the total number of ounces.

\[
\text{Unit cost} = \frac{\text{Total price}}{\text{Number of ounces}} = \frac{2.49}{14.5}
\]

Now let's calculate:

\[
\text{Unit cost} = \frac{2.49}{14.5} \approx 0.1717
\]

Rounding to the nearest tenth of a cent:

\[
\text{Unit cost} \approx 17.2 \text{ cents per ounce}
\]
