    First, you want to figure out how much you're spending on tomatoes. So subtract $1.29 from $5.37, getting $4.44.

    Since you are getting 3 pounds of tomatoes, you'd get the equation: 4.44=3x. x = price per pound.

    Then solve for x. Divide 4.44 by 3, getting 1.48.

    You then get x=1.48. Meaning each pound of tomatoes is $1.48.
