    Answer: ₦10/lb

    Explanation: Total budget for the week is $75

    If she spends $7.50/lb on two pounds of organic fruits, then $7.50 multiplied by the number of pounds gives total spent on organic fruits:

    $7.50 x 2 = $15

    Amount left after buying organic fruits is given by Total budget minus cost of organic fruits bought:

    $75 - $15 = $60

    If 6 pounds of vegetable was bought, then dividing the left over amount by number of pounds gives cost of vegetable per pound:

    $60 / 6lb = $10/lb

    That is the price at which she buys for each pound of vegetable.
