It would weigh four ounces

Kaylin Howell · Answer 2

The answer is 5 ounces. We can tell this by subtracting 0.32 from 1.16 and then dividing the product (0.84) by 0.21. This should give you 4, but then you have to remember that you subtracted the first ounce that costs 0.32, so when you add it back, you should have an answer of 5 ounces.
