B is correct.

So, B is the answer, and you are correct.
To determine the cost of 1 pound of potatoes, we can divide the total cost of the 10-pound sack by 10.
We know that the 10-pound sack of potatoes costs $6.55, so we divide $6.55 by 10:
$6.55 / 10 = $0.655
To round the answer to the nearest cent, we will round $0.655 to $0.66.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. $.66.
