Patrick Casey · Answer 1

Apples is the lowest

Step-by-step explanation:

Price per pound is the number of dollars divided by the number of pounds:

Keller's: $6.25 / (5 lb) = $1.25/lb Prum's: $3.90 / (3 lb) = $1.30/lb Apples: $7.20 / (6 lb) = $1.20/lb

The "Apples" stand is offering the lowest price per pound at $1.20 per pound.
