Answer 2

Answer:

$42.43

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Cost of $\frac{5}{6} kg$ of candy=$7.50

We have to find the cost of $4\frac{5}{7}kg$ of candy.

$4\frac{5}{7}kg=\frac{33}{7}kg$

Cost of 1 kg=$\frac{7.50}{\frac{5}{6}}$

Cost of $\frac{33}{7}kg$ of candy=$\frac{7.50\times 6}{5}\times \frac{33}{7}=$$$\frac{297}{7}$

Cost of $\frac{33}{7}kg$ of candy=$42.43

Hence, cost of $4\frac{5}{7}kg$ of candy=$42.43
