Answer:

(x - 1.50) / 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = cost of 16 pounds of apple at Pam's orchard

Cost of 16 pounds of apple at Kyle's = x - 1.50

How much should Kyle charge per pound?

Kyle charges per pound of apple = cost of 16 pounds of apple / number of pounds of apple

= (x - 1.50) / 16

Therefore,

Cost of a pound of apple at Kyle's is (x - 1.50) / 16
