Dawn can buy 5 pounds of apples for $12.45

We have to find how many pounds can she buy for $1.00

Now cost price for 5 pounds = $12.45

In $12.45 , Dawn can buy 5 pounds of apple

So, In $ 1 , Dawn can buy 5/12.5 pound of apple

= 0.4 pound of apple

Therefore dawn can buy 0.4 pound of apple for $1.00

Hope this helps..!!

Thank you :)
