To solve this, we would be finding the unit rate. To find a unit rate, you should divide the unit by itself, and in this case, the price by the unit. Therefore, our math problem is:

10/10=6.55/10.
1=0.655

We need to round this up as you can not have a fraction of a cent.

0.655=0.66

Using the math above, we can see that 1 pound of potatoes costs $0.66.
