Question

A.

B.
$1.49
C.
$0.63
D.
$1.58

Answer 1

To find the cost per pound of the sweet potatoes, you need to divide the total cost by the total weight in pounds.

The total cost is $6.32 and the total weight is 4 pounds.

Cost per pound = Total cost / Total weight
Cost per pound = $6.32 / 4

Now, let's calculate:

Cost per pound = $6.32 / 4 = $1.58

Therefore, the cost per pound of the sweet potatoes is D. $1.58.
