Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Convert US price to CAD per kg

First, convert 1 lb to kg: 1 lb=$\frac{1}{2.2}$ kg. The price of chicken in US is $2.65$ USD per pound. Convert it to USD per kg: $2.65\div\frac{1}{2.2}=2.65\times2.2 = 5.83$ USD per kg. Then convert to CAD using the exchange - rate. Since $1$ USD = $1.3895$ CAD, the price in CAD per kg is $5.83\times1.3895\approx8.09$ CAD per kg.

Step2: Compare with Canadian price

The price of chicken in Canada is $6.50$ CAD per kg.

Step3: Calculate the difference

The difference in price is $8.09 - 6.50=1.59$ CAD per kg.
