Answer:

OK, I love these questions. The way to get the answer is always remember this formula- (PRICE DIVIDED BY QUANTITY). In this case, the price for a 5 pound bag of onions costs 3.99. So, to find the unit price per pound, all you need to do is divide 3.99 by 5. If you do the math (3.99/5), you'll get the answer of 79 cents per pound. If your asked to round, the answer would be 80 cents per pound.

If I did the math correctly the answer should be $0.78 per pound.

I hoped that this helped
