answer ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Answer: Option 'd' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Initial price of tomatoes = $1.12 per lb

After three price, price of tomatoes = $1.96 per lb.

Rate of change of the prices of the tomatoes per year would be

[tex]\dfrac{difference}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{1.96-1.12}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{0.84}{3}\\\\=\$0.28[/tex]

Hence, there is $0.28 rate of change of the price of the tomatoes.

Therefore, Option 'd' is correct.
