I apologize for the mistake in my previous answer. The correct calculation to convert $8.15 per 500 grams to price per pound is as follows:
First, we need to convert 500 grams to pounds. There are approximately 2.20462 pounds in 1 kilogram, and 500 grams is equal to 0.5 kilograms. Therefore, 500 grams is equal to approximately 1.10231 pounds.
Next, we can calculate the price per pound by dividing the price per 500 grams by the number of pounds in 500 grams:
$8.15 / 1.10231 pounds = $7.39 per pound
So, the correct answer is that the price per pound is approximately $7.39. I apologize for any confusion my previous answer may have caused.
