Let \( x \) represent the cost of one pound of chocolate-covered cashews.
From the problem, we know that Suwani bought 8 pounds for a total of $52. Therefore, we can set up the equation as follows:
\[ 8x = 52 \]
To find the cost of one pound of chocolate-covered cashews, we need to solve for \( x \) in the equation from PART A:
\[ x = \frac{52}{8} \]
Calculating that:
\[ x = 6.50 \]
Thus, the cost of one pound of chocolate-covered cashews is:
$6.50
