To find the cost of 7 pounds of grapefruit based on Mr. Yang's purchase, we first need to determine the cost per pound.
1. Calculate the cost per pound:
\[
\text{Cost per pound} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total pounds}} = \frac{4.90}{5} = 0.98
\]
2. Now, calculate the cost for 7 pounds:
\[
\text{Total cost for 7 pounds} = \text{Cost per pound} \times 7 = 0.98 \times 7 = 6.86
\]
Therefore, the cost for 7 pounds of grapefruit will be **$6.86**.
