One pound of the item will cost 4.74 bill

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we are told that Delia bought 4.5 pounds of fruit

and paid with a toa total bill of 20+5= 25 bill

and also she received a  change of 3.67

this means that the item she bought cost 25-3.67= 21.33bill

now if 4.5 pounds of items cost 21.33 bill

then 1 pound will cost Xbill

cross multiply and solve for Xbill

X= 21.33/4.5

X= 4.74 bill

One pound of the item will cost 4.74 bill
