Let

a--------> the total cost in dollars of \(6\) ounces of coconut oil

b--------> the total cost in dollars of \(5\) ounces of beeswax

we know that

\(a=0.50 \frac{\$}{ounce}*6=\$3\)

\(b=2.00 \frac{\$}{ounce}*5=\$10\)

therefore

the answer is

the total cost in dollars of \(6\) ounces of coconut oil is \(a=\$3\)

the total cost in dollars of \(5\) ounces ofbeeswax is \(b=\$10\)
