Justin’s Local Market has the freshest watermelons. The cost is determined based on the number of pounds purchased which is detailed in the table below.

Answer:
1.4 $/pound
Explanation:
The rate of change of the cost of water melon is expressed as;
Rate of change = C2-C1/p2-p1
Using the coordinates (C, p)
(0,0) and (0.35, 0.25)
Rate of change = 0.35-0/0.25-0
Rate of change = 0.35/0.25
Rate of change = 1.4 $/pound
Hence the rate of change of watermelon is 1.4 $/pound
