Answer:

  $3.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the price per ounce is the same, we can write the proportion ...

  price / ounce = $2.89 / 13 = ?? / 15.625

We can find the amount (??) that Gabe paid by multiplying this equation by 15.625:

  ?? = $2.89·15.625/13 ≈ $3.47

Gabe paid $3.47 for his chips.
