Answer:

It will cost $7.92

Explanation:

We will need to find out how many table spoons of lemon we will need first.

We need to make 3 pies requiring half a cup of lemon juice.

3 * 1/2 = 1.5 cups

We convert the cups to tablespoons

1.5 * 16 = 24 tablespoons

Then, since each lemon yields two tablespoons, we divide the tablespoons required by two. This is to find the number of lemons we need.

24/2 = 12

We multiply lemons by the price the store is selling them.

12 * $0.66 = $7.92

This is the price to buy enough lemons to make the 9-inch lemon pies.
