If a 16-ounce box of candy costs $8.95, how much does one ounce cost? round your answer to the nearest cent.

The first step would be to create an equation for this problem. You would divide the cost per ounce by the number of ounces. 
$8.95 ÷ 16 = ?

Now, all you would have to do it solve it. 
$8.95 ÷ 16 = $0.559375

The last step would be to round to the nearest cent. 
$0.559375 = $0.56

A box of candy cost $0.56 per ounce. 

I hope this helps!
