I got #2# ounces

Explanation:

You know that one egg costs:
#($1.59)/12=$0.1325#

One pound of eggs costs #$1.06#

but: #$1.06# corresponds to:

#($1.06)/($0.1325)=8# eggs

so that in one pound (cost #$1.06#) "fit" #8# eggs and so we get:

#(1"pound")/8=0.125# of a pound

that if I am not mistaken corresponds to #2"oz"#
