The question asks for the cost per pound of mixed nuts. Here's the step-by-step process to find that:

### Given:
- Rodrigo bought **$ 2 \frac{1}{5} $ pounds** of mixed nuts.
- The total cost of mixed nuts is **\$10.45**.

### Step 1: Convert mixed nuts weight to an improper fraction or decimal.
$ 2 \frac{1}{5} $ pounds is equivalent to:
\[
2 \frac{1}{5} = \frac{11}{5} \text{ pounds} \quad \text{or} \quad 2.2 \text{ pounds}
\]

### Step 2: Divide the total cost of mixed nuts by the weight to find the cost per pound.
\[
\text{Cost per pound} = \frac{\$10.45}{2.2} = 4.75 \text{ dollars per pound}
\]

So, the cost per pound of mixed nuts is **\$4.75**.
