I can tell you that is 50 cents for cantaloupe at that price....
So I think he'd have to charge $1.50. He'd get what he paid for back plus a dollar. If C= one cantaloupe ....it would look something like
p > $1.50c
BECAUSE 1.50 x 14 = 21 minus the 7 he paid would leave you with 14... on dollar per cantaloupe... so the price can be anything greater than $1.50
