Answer:

About $0.10 per ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

12 pound costs $18.75. Lets find the cost per pound first:

Cost Per Pound = [tex]\frac{18.75}{12}=1.5625[/tex]

We know, there are 16 ounces in 1 pound.

We know 1 pound costs 1.5625

To find cost per ounce, we have to divide this by 16.

So,

Cost Per Ounce = [tex]\frac{1.5625}{16}=0.097[/tex]

Rounded to nearest cent, that would be 10 cents per ounce
