Rounded out the answer I got isn't exactly $10, but close to it so I'm going with D.

Divide the total cost by the amount bought:

56.00 / 6.2 = 9.03 (Actual cost.

Since the question is asking about how much you can estimate by rounding the total cost to the nearest 10's, so 56 rounds up to 60.

Then round the weight to the nearest pound, so 6.2 rounds to 6 pounds.

Cost = 60 / 6 = 10

The answer would be D. 10.00
