To find the cost per pound of the chicken breasts, we need to divide the total cost by the total weight.

Cost per pound = Total cost / Total weight
Cost per pound = $9.00 / 2.5 pounds
Cost per pound = $3.60

Therefore, the cost per pound of the chicken breasts was $3.60.
Whats the cost for 2 and 3 pounds
To find the cost for 2 pounds of chicken breasts, we can multiply the cost per pound by 2:

Cost for 2 pounds = $3.60/pound * 2 pounds = $7.20

To find the cost for 3 pounds of chicken breasts, we can multiply the cost per pound by 3:

Cost for 3 pounds = $3.60/pound * 3 pounds = $10.80

Therefore, the cost for 2 pounds of chicken breasts would be $7.20 and the cost for 3 pounds of chicken breasts would be $10.80.
