Price of each big peach = $0.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of total peaches = 270

ratio = 2:4:3

Amount of small peach = (2/9) x 270 = 60

Amount of medium peach = (4/9) x 270 = 120

Amount of big peach = (3/9) x 270 = 90

Price of all small peach = 0.3 x 60 = $18

Price of each big peach = (91.5-18) / 210 = $0.35
