It costs $3.45 to buy ¾ lb of chopped walnuts. How much would it cost to purchase 7.5 lbs of walnuts? Explain or show your reasoning.

It would cost $ 34.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The cost of 3/4 lb of chopped walnut = $ 3.45,

So, the cost of 1 lb of chopped walnut = 4/3*3.45

=4*1.15

= $ 4.6,

Thus, the cost of 7.5 lbs of walnuts = 7.5 × cost of 1 b of walnut

= 7.5 × 4.6

= $ 34.5
