Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: we will have to set up some parameters that will help us as we go.

1kg= 2.205 pounds

1 euro= $1.35

From the question, we can see that 1kilo of apples costs 2.50 euros.

So to convert our euros to dollars, we multiply 2.50 by the exchange rate, viz;

2.50 * 1.35= $3.375.

In essence, 1kg of apples costs $3.375.

Now to get how much each pound costs per dollar. We say,

If 2.205 pounds cost $3.375

Then we can get the price of 1 pound by dividing the price by the weight. So;

3.375/2.205= $1.53
