Answer 1

Answer:

7 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer to this question add the cost of a pound worth of almonds to the total amount of money she spent altogether in till you cannot add anymore.

$3.50+3.50=7.00$

$7.00+3.50=10.50$

$10.50+3.50=14.00$

$14.00+3.50=17.50$

$17.50+3.50=21.00$

$21.00+3.50=24.50$

=$7lb$

Check work:

$3.50\times7=24.50$
