Answer:

$19.44

Step-by-step explanation:

first you need the conversion for pounds and ounces,

16 oz = 1 lb

therefore the 6 lb package is 6 × 16 = 96 ounces

so the first ounce costs $0.44

the remaining 95 ounces cost .20 per ounce or

.20 × 95 = $19

therefore the total cost is $19 + $0.44 = $19.44
