Answer:

$0.88 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

you want to divide the 3/4 pounds by 3, and when you do that, you also have to divide the 66 cents by 3 as well, then multiply the 1/4 you get from dividing 3/4 by 3, and multiply it by 4 to get 1 pound, but when you do that, you have to do the same thing with the 22 cents you get from dividing 66 cents by 3, which will give you 88 cents per pound

Before adding dissimilar fractions (fractions with different denominator), you have to make the fractions similar first. To make the fractions similar, find the Least Common Multiple of the denominator. In this case, the LCM is 10. Then rewrite the fractions using the LCM as the denominator.
9/10 = 9/10; 4/5 = 8/10
You can now proceed with addition -
9/10 + 8/10 = 17/10 or 1 7/10
