choose 1 answer:
a the customer bought 1.20
kilograms of lettuce.
b the customer can buy 1.20
kilograms of lettuce for a dollar.
c good groceries charges 1.20 dollars
per kilogram of lettuce.

Explanation:

In the context of a grocery receipt, the notation "3 kg @1.20/kg" is a common way to indicate the quantity (3 kg) and the unit - price (1.20 dollars per kilogram). Option A is incorrect because the quantity bought is 3 kg. Option B is incorrect as it misinterprets the relationship (it should be dollars per kilogram, not kilograms per dollar). Option C correctly interprets 1.20 as the price per kilogram.

Answer:

C. Good Groceries charges 1.20 dollars per kilogram of lettuce.
