Lets figure this out;
16 oz = 1 lb, so 16 x 5 would be 80 oz, 80 ounces.
60000 ounces
1 pound is 16 ounces, therefore, 5 pounds is 80 ounces
7 pounds
41 cents
5# 12oz =72 oz. $2.07/72oz = $.02875 per ounce. rounded to $.03 per ounce. $.03 per ounce times 16 ounces in a pound = $.48 per pound
I just took my bag out and counted them, there is 31 potatoes in the bag of Russet potatoes I purchased from Pick n Save.
The weight of potatoes can vary greatly, but the "average potato's" weight is said be 13.25 ounces. Below is a URL with a description of the weights of potatoes:What_is_the_average_weight_of_an_uncooked_potato40 oz/13.25 oz = approximately 3 potatoesIf the potatoes are not the same in weight, then you will need to add the total ounces.
there are 16 ounces in one pound there are 92 ounces total cost per 1 ounce - 2.21/92 = 0.024 cost per 1 pound - 0.024*16 = 0.384 or 39 cents per pound
The number of servings will depend completely upon the size of the bag. If you figure that 1 ounce is a serving (http://www.calorie-count.com/calories/item/19045.html) then the number of servings would be the number of ounces in the bag. So a 16-ounce (1lb) bag would contain 16 servings. Though, realize that some people will eat more than one serving.
Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, you would multiply the number of pounds by 16. So in this case, you would multiply 16 x 7, which gives you 112 ounces.
