Answer 1

To find the cost of the granola mix, you can multiply the price per pound by the weight of the bag.

The granola mix costs $8.99 per pound and the bag weighs 7.8 pounds.

Cost = Price per pound × Weight Cost = $8.99 × 7.8

Calculating this:

\[ Cost = 8.99 \times 7.8 = 70.022 \]

So, the cost would be approximately $70.02.

The closest option from those provided is $72.
