Answer:

Farmer's market

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the unit rates for each location

Supermarket

We already know the unit rate, it is given to us in the equation p=1.75L

$1.75 per pound

Farmer's market:

Divide the price by the number of pounds to find the unit rate

price/pounds

3.25/2=1.625

About $1.63 per pound

So, they cost less at the farmer's market

Hope this helps! :)
