To find the unit price of the potatoes per pound, you need to divide the total cost by the number of pounds.
The calculation is as follows:
\[
\text{Unit price} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of pounds}} = \frac{2.95}{5}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
\text{Unit price} = 0.59
\]
So, the unit price of the potatoes per pound is **$0.59**.
