To find the cost per pound of pecans, you can divide the total cost by the total weight in pounds:
\[
\text{Cost per pound} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total weight}} = \frac{56.00}{6.2}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
\frac{56.00}{6.2} \approx 9.03
\]
So, the cost per pound is approximately $9.03. Looking at the options provided:
- $5.00
- $6.00
- $8.00
- $10.00
The closest option to $9.03 is **$10.00**.
