To find out how much a piece of rockfish weighing 0.75 pounds costs, you can multiply the weight by the price per pound.
The price per pound is $3.29.
Now, you multiply the weight (0.75 pounds) by the price per pound ($3.29):
0.75 pounds * $3.29/pound = $2.46525.
Therefore, a piece of rockfish weighing 0.75 pounds would cost approximately $2.47 (rounded to two decimal places).
