- Read the per-pound cost and the equivalent per-ounce rate.
Formula
Price per pound = total cost / pounds
Pounds from ounces = ounces / 16
Pounds from kilograms = kilograms x 2.20462
Worked Examples
Example 1: 18 dollars for 4 pounds costs 4.50 per pound.
Example 2: 32 ounces is 2 pounds, so the per-pound price is twice the per-ounce price times 16 ounces.
Example 3: A kilogram value is converted to pounds before the division is done.
