    Answer: C. Blueberries are $0.80 per pound less at the farmer's market

    Step-by-step explanation:

    At the store per ounce the blueberries are $0.35. ($2.80 price/8 ounces)

    At the farmers market per ounce the blueberries are $0.30. ($4.20 price/14 ounces)

    There are 16 ounces in a pound. Store=$0.35 x 16 = $5.60; Market = $0.30 x 16 = $4.80

    They cost less at the farmer's market. $5.60-$4.80 = $0.80
