Answer: 10-pound bag for $4.58

Explanation:

A store sells potatoes in 5-pound bags for $2.29. To get the amount for a pound bag of potatoe, we divide $2.29 by 5. This will give:

$2.29 / 5 = $0.458

To get the amount equivalent goes thus:

For a 20-pound bag for $8.80, a pound will cost:

$8.80/20 = $0.44

For a 2-pound bag for $1.02, a pound bag will be:

$1.02/2 = $0.51

For a 10-pound bag for $4.58, a pound bag will cost:

$4.58/10 = $0.458

For a 7-pound bag for $3.01, a pound bag will cost:

$3.01/7 = $0.43

From the figures calculated, a 10-pound bag for $4.58 is the same as the amount calculated.
