Identify the conversion factors needed: 1 lb = 0.453592 kg.
Set up the conversion by writing the given value \(3.99/\text{lb}\) and multiply it by the conversion factor to cancel out pounds.
The conversion setup will be: \(3.99/\text{lb} \times (1 \text{ lb} / 0.453592 \text{ kg})\).
Simplify the expression by canceling out the units of pounds (lb) to leave dollars per kilogram (kg).
Perform the division to find the value in dollars per kilogram.
