To find out how much money the volunteer group can get for the 71.6 pounds of aluminum cans, you can multiply the weight of the aluminum by the price per pound.
\[
\text{Total Money} = \text{Weight} \times \text{Price per Pound}
\]
Substituting the given values:
\[
\text{Total Money} = 71.6 \, \text{pounds} \times 0.45 \, \text{dollars/pound}
\]
Calculating this:
\[
\text{Total Money} = 71.6 \times 0.45 = 32.22
\]
Therefore, the group can get approximately **$32.22** for the aluminum cans.
