To calculate the price per pound of potatoes, you need to divide the total cost by the weight in pounds. In this case, the total cost is $2.19 and the weight is 5 pounds.

Mathematically, you can calculate the price per pound as follows:

Price per pound = Total cost / Weight

Therefore, the price per pound of the potatoes can be calculated as:

Price per pound = $2.19 / 5 pounds

To get the final answer, perform the division:

Price per pound = $0.438 per pound

So, the price per pound of the potatoes is approximately $0.438.
