Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

First you must know that there are 16 ounces in 1 pound so the amount of ounces in 5 pounds would be 80 ounces so first you would take out one ounce for the $0.35 and would then have 79 ounces. After that you would multiply 79 by .10 to get 7.90 then add the .35 to that to get

8.25. So the answer is c.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

16 ounces in 1 pound. So 16 x 5 = 80 ounces

0.35 + 0.10 (80-1) = x

x = 8.25
