40.40 is actually the answer for the last one and the first one is 8.80

then the second one is 33.60 so yw

Explanation:

Answer 2

$42.40

Explanation:

The horizontal axis is in fractions.

The three lightest are two
`(5)/(8)` pounds & one
`(6)/(8)` pounds. Each cost $4.40 per pound.

So cost = 4.40(5/8+5/8+6/8) = $8.8

Remaining costs 4.80 per pound. We add up the remaining and multiply by 4.80 to get their cost.

cost =
`4.80(1+1(1)/(8)+1(1)/(8)+1(1)/(8)+1(2)/(8)+1(3)/(8))=33.6`

Hence, total cost = 8.8 + 33.6 = $42.40
