Question 146843
Rate of 1 pound of snow peas = $1.99
Cost of 20 lbs. of snow peas = 1.99 X 20 = 39.8 $

Rate of 1 pound of petite onions = $1.19
Cost of 14 lbs. of petite onions = 1.19 X 14 = 16.66 $

Total weight of vegetable medley = weight of snow peas + weight of petite onions
                                 =     20              +         14
                                 = 36 Lbs.
Total cost of 36 lbs. of vegetable medley = cost of snow peas + cost of onions
                                          = 39.80 $ + 16.66 $
                                          = 56.46 $

Total cost of 1 pound of vegetable medley = 56.46 / 36
                                          = 1.57 $
