Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

$1.75/lbs
There are two options.

1. Multiple 1.75 x 0.20 = 0.35
After that, subtract 0.35 from 1.75
1.65-0.35= 1.4

2. Because the price is 20% lower, you could multiply 1.75 by 0.8 and that alone would be your answer. 1.75/0.8=1.4

Either way, the price of oranges this week is $1.40/lbs
