1. Megan lives in the United States. The price of a peach grown in the United States is 68 cents per pound. The United States has placed a tariff on all goods coming from Asia. The price of a peach that is imported from Asia will cost Megan 5.00 per pound. Megan went to Kroger looking for peaches, but she is on a tight budget. Which peach will she MOST LIKELY purchase?

2. Why does the peach from Asia cost so much more than the peach grown in the United States?
