Explanation:

Step1: Analyze first statement

Calculate cost of 2 pounds of potatoes: \(2\times1.07 = 2.14\) dollars. Cost of 1 pound of salad greens is \(2.49\) dollars. Compare \(2.14\) and \(2.49\): \(2.14 < 2.49\), so first statement is True.

Step2: Analyze second statement

Calculate difference between salad greens and tomatoes: \(2.49 - 1.88 = 0.61\) dollars. \(0.61
eq1.61\), so second statement is False.
