Answer: Cost of two-ounce bags is $1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of bags of mixed nuts =6 ounce

Cost of bag =$3.60

We'll use the unitary method,

[tex]\text{ Cost of 6 ounce bags}=\$3.60\\\\\text{ Cost of 1 ounce bag}=\frac{3.60}{6}=\$0.6\\\\\text{ Cost of 2 ounce bags}=0.6\times 2=\$1.2[/tex]

Hence, cost of two-ounce bags is $1.2
