To find the price per pound of carrot seeds, you need to divide the total cost by the total weight in pounds.
Here's the calculation:
\[
\text{Price per pound} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Total Weight}} = \frac{467.25}{17.8}
\]
Calculating it gives:
\[
\text{Price per pound} = 26.25
\]
So, the answers to your prompts are:
