There would have been 3.25 or 3 1/4 pounds of candy eaten.
you would do 5 1/2 - 2 1/4 and get 3 1/4 .

1 1/4  lbs of the candy was eaten. 5 1/2 becomes the improper fraction 11/2 and 2 1/4 becomes the improper fraction 9/4. After subtraction, you get 13/4, or 1 1/4.

200 sections will cost $7439.

We first see if the rate of change, the slope, is the same between data points.  If it is, the function will be linear.  We use the formula

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

For the first two data points, we have

m = (1889-409)/(50-10) = 1480/40 = 37

For the second two data points, we have

m = (4664-1889)/(125-50) = 2775/75 = 37

Now that we know the slope is the same, we can write the equation:
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) 
y - 409 = 37(x - 10)
y - 409 = 37x - 370

Add 409 to both sides: 
y = 37x + 39

Using 200 as x,
y = 37(200) + 39 = 7439
