To find out how much Erica will pay for both bags of candy, we first need to find the total weight of the candy bags.
1. Total weight of the first bag of candy: 5 and 3/4 lb = 5.75 lb
2. Total weight of the second bag of candy: 3 and 1/3 lb = 3.33 lb
Adding the two weights together:
Total weight = 5.75 lb + 3.33 lb = 9.08 lb
Next, we need to calculate the total cost of the candy bags:
Total cost = total weight * cost per pound
Total cost = 9.08 lb * $1.35
Total cost = $12.27
Therefore, Erica will pay $12.27 for both bags of candy.
