Answer:

a. 1 pound of potatoes

b. 1 pound of potatoes

Explanation:

It is important to note that Janice will purchase potatoes until the cost of potatoes is more than her value for it or until she exhausts her income.

Having that in mind

a. In this case, since only the value of first pound of potato is worth more than the cost, she'd only buy 1 pound of potatoes. Totalled at $1.25

b. If she has only $2, she'd purchase only 1 pound because the value of the potatoes is worth more than the cost.
