Answer:

$16

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the unit rate for this problem you would put the amount of money in the numerator and how much candy you have in the denominator. It would look like this:

$16/0.75

Some quick division will get us $16 so therefore, it is 16 dollars for one pound of candy.
