Hello
From the question, we know that 7 pounds of the seeds cost $141.96.
4 pounds would be assumed to be x and we can solve for x.
[tex]\begin{gathered} 7\text{ pounds = 141.96} \\ 4\text{ pounds = x} \end{gathered}[/tex]Cross multiply both sides.
[tex]\begin{gathered} 7\times x=4\times141.96 \\ 7x=567.84 \end{gathered}[/tex]Divide both sides by the coefficient of x
[tex]\begin{gathered} 7x=567.84 \\ \frac{7x}{7}=\frac{567.84}{7} \\ x=81.12 \end{gathered}[/tex]From the calculation above, the cost of 4 pounds of the seeds is equal to $81.12
