    price per pound = $9.50

    the product is sold on 5 lb. bags at $47.50, which can actually weight anything between 5.03 lb. to 4.97 lb.

    if the bag weights 5.03 lb., then the customer will be undercharged by $0.29 if the bag weights 4.97 lb., then the customer will be overcharged by $0.29
