Answer 2

Answer:

$0.66 per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that you purchase fresh strawberries in Mexico for 28 pesos per kilogram.

We know 1 peso equals $0.052 and 1 kg equals 2.20462 pounds.

$\frac{\text{28 pesos}}{\text{ kg}}\times \frac{\ 0.052}{\text{Peso}}\times \frac{\text{kg}}{\text{2.20462 pounds}}$

$\frac{28\times \ 0.052}{\text{2.20462 pounds}}$

$\frac{\ 1.456}{\text{2.20462 pounds}}$

$\frac{\ 0.66}{\text{pound}}$

Therefore, the price is $0.66 per pound.
