Berapa ons gula yang kita punya?
Meaning: How many ounces of sugar do we have?
You cannot translate 'ons' into 'ounce'.
Those are two different units.
'ons' = seratus gram = 100 grams.

'ounce' = 28.3 grams
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ounce
If 'ons' refers to 100g, a unit not used the metric system, then, like "windu", it should not be translated, especially not as something it is not, like "ounce."
The correct answer should be, "How many 'onses' of sugar do we have?" or, far more naturally but not a direct translation, "How much sugar do we have?"
