Franklin Williamson · Answer 1

To determine the total amount that Mr. Elliot will have to pay for the purchased candy from the candy store, all that needs to be done is to multiply the weight of the candy in pounds by the price per pound. That is,

total cost = (4.50 lbs) ($4.47/lb)

total cost = $20.115

If we are to round the answer to the nearest cent, it would be $20.2

Thus, the answer is $20.2.
