Answer:

Explanation:

You take the $4.59 price for the 24 ounce box and divide it by 24 ounces to get the price per ounce.

4.59 / 24 = 0.19125 cents per ounce.

To get the cost per pound, you multiply the 0.1925 cost per ounce by 16 ounces (becaue 16 ounces equals to 1 pound).

0.19125 x 16 = 3.06 per pound.

So that's how to figure out the cost per pound.
