Answer 2

$0.66 per pound.

Explanation:

We have been given that you purchase fresh strawberries in Mexico for 28 pesos per kilogram.

We know 1 peso equals $0.052 and 1 kg equals 2.20462 pounds.

`\frac{\text{28 pesos}}{\text{ kg}}* \frac{\$0.052}{\text{Peso}}* \frac{\text{kg}}{\text{2.20462 pounds}}`

`\frac{28* \$0.052}{\text{2.20462 pounds}}`

`\frac{\$1.456}{\text{2.20462 pounds}}`

`\frac{\$0.66}{\text{pound}}`

Therefore, the price is $0.66 per pound.
