To find out how much Mark will receive for 21.5 pounds of aluminum cans at a rate of $0.08 per pound, you can multiply the weight of the cans by the price per pound.

\text{Total payment} = 21.5 \, \text{pounds} \times 0.08 \, \text{dollars/pound}
\]
\[
\text{Total payment} = 1.72 \, \text{dollars}
\]
So, Mark will receive **$1.72** for 21.5 pounds of aluminum cans.
