$The cost per pound = $ 3.20$ $color(magenta)("The cost per pound" = $3.20$

To find the cost per pound, we need to divide the cost by the pound purchased by it.

$= $ 2.4 \div \frac{3}{4}$ $=$2.4div3/4$

$= $ 2.4 \times \frac{4}{3}$ $=$2.4xx4/3$

$= \frac{$ 9.6}{3}$ $=($9.6)/3$

$= $ 3.20$ $=$3.20$

$therefore$ $color(magenta)("The cost per pound" = $3.20$
