Step-by-step explanation:

Jelly's Candy Shop sells jelly beans by weight and charges $8.95 per pound.

Your bag weighed 0.61 pounds. This means that the total cost of 0.61 pounds would be

0.61 * 8.95 = $5.4595

Your date's bag weighed 0.45 pounds. This means that the total cost of 0.45 pounds would be

0.45 * 8.95 = $4.0275

Therefore, the total cost of the two bags of jelly beans would be

5.4595 + 4.0275 = $9.487

Rounding to the nearest cent, it becomes

$9.5
