Solution

To find the unit price in dollars per pound, you need to divide the total cost by the total pounds.

Here are the steps:

  1. Identify the total cost and total pounds. In this case, the total cost is $19.46 and the total pounds is 2.8.

  2. Divide the total cost by the total pounds to find the unit price.

    So, 19.46÷2.8=19.46 ÷ 2.8 = 6.95 (rounded to the nearest cent)

Therefore, the unit price of the shrimp is approximately $6.95 per pound.
