    Let number be "x" (the cost of one pound of oranges);

    (2 1 / 2) x = 3.75;

    (5 / 2) x = 375 / 100;

    x = (375 / 100) * (2 / 5);

    x = 750 / 100;

    x = $7.50;

    Charlie buys 2.5 pounds of oranges for 3.75.

    To find out how much he will pay for 1 pound of oranges, use the proportion

    2.5/3.75 = 1/x

    Cross multiply to get x = $1.50 per pound of oranges.
