Answer 2

Answer:

$\texttt{Cost for }4\frac{7}{5}kg=48.6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 5/6 kg candy costs 7.50.

That is

            $\texttt{Cost for }\frac{5}{6}kg=7.5\\\\\texttt{Cost for 1 kg}=7.5\times \frac{6}{5}=9$

Now we need to find cost for 4 7/5 kg of candy.

          $\texttt{Cost for }4\frac{7}{5}kg=4\frac{7}{5}\times 9\\\\\texttt{Cost for }4\frac{7}{5}kg=\frac{4\times 5+7}{5}\times 9=\frac{27}{5}\times 9=48.6\\\\\texttt{Cost for }4\frac{7}{5}kg=48.6$
