Since 2 pounds is $3 and you have $9, you would do: 

 , x= # of pounds of apples

You do cross multiplication to get:

x=6      

1 lb= 16 oz

So    to get the number of ounces you can buy for $9.

Then divide 96 by 5, so that is ABOUT 19 APPLES.
you can buy 6pounds cuz they are three dollars a pound i hope that helps
