This problem came up in real life. My wife Karen saw red bell peppers at Whole Foods for $5 per pound. Too expensive! She asked me to go to Super Value and buy some for less than $5 per pound. I went in and got two peppers, on sale, 2 for $3. When I got them home, I found that the two peppers, together, weighed 13 ounces. What was the price per pound? If you don't know how many ounces are in a pound, adults tell you.

Answer, in Rot13 code: Guerr qbyynef naq fvkgl avar pragf cre cbhaq.
