Yes, Randy can purchase 3.5 pounds of chicken salad for $23.50

Step-by-step explanation:

He is correct.

Randy can purchase any item at any cost if both the item and the cost are satisfactory to Randy himself. The cost at which Randy is willing to purchase the item must also be satisfactory to the seller of the item too.

This makes it possible for Randy to be able to purchase 3.5 pounds of chicken salad for $23.50. It is not necessarily reasonable, but it is possible.
