Price per pound is $2.35.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lowest unit of this currency is the cent which is one hundredth of a dollar so the price is rounded to the nearest hundredth (that is the second place of decimals).

As the third place of decimals is 8 we round up the second place so the price per pound is $2.35.
