The amount Alonzo will spend on candy can be found by multiplying the cost per pound by the number of pounds: c = $4 * p, where p is the number of pounds of candy Alonzo buys.
Since he will buy at least 7 pounds, we can write the inequality p >= 7.
Substituting the value of p into the equation, we have c = $4 * 7 = $<<4*7=28>>28.
Therefore, Alonzo will spend at least $28 on candy.
