To determine how much money Justin will earn from selling his granola, we first need to calculate how many 23-pound bags he can make from 6 pounds of granola.
1. **Calculation of bags**:
- Justin has 6 pounds of granola and each bag weighs 23 pounds.
- To find out how many bags can be made with the available granola, we use the formula:
\[
\text{Number of bags} = \frac{\text{Total granola (pounds)}}{\text{Weight per bag (pounds)}} = \frac{6 \text{ pounds}}{23 \text{ pounds/bag}} \approx 0.26
\]
Since Justin cannot sell a fraction of a bag, he will not be able to sell any full 23-pound bags if he only has 6 pounds of granola.
2. **Calculation of earnings**:
- Since he cannot sell any bags, Justin’s earnings will be:
\[
\text{Total earnings} = \text{Number of bags sold} \times \text{Price per bag} = 0 \times 6.35 = 0
\]
However, none of the given options (A. $25.40, B. $38.10, C. $48.60, D. $57.15) reflect this scenario where he makes no sales.
**Conclusion**:
Justin will not earn any money selling granola since he does not have enough to fill even one complete bag for sale. Thus, the correct answer based on the options provided is that none are applicable.
