Now, here in the given question:
1. Cost of 4.5 pounds of potatoes is $2.52
So, the unit price of potatoes [tex]= \frac{\textrm{2.52}}{\textrm{4.5}} = 0.56[/tex]
⇒ 1 pound of potatoes cost $0.56
Hence,UNIT PRICE of potatoes is $0.56
2 Cost of 2.5 pounds of broccoli is $7.75.
So, the cost of 1 pound of broccoli [tex]= \frac{\textrm{7.75}}{\textrm{2.5}} = 3.1[/tex]
⇒ 1 pound of broccoli cost $3.1
Hence,UNIT PRICE of broccoli is $3.1
3. Cost of 2.5 pounds of pears is $2.45.
