Answer:

$42.43

Explanation:

We are given that

Cost of
(5)/(6) kg of candy=$7.50

We have to find the cost of
4(5)/(7)kg of candy.

4(5)/(7)kg=(33)/(7)kg

Cost of 1 kg=
(7.50)/((5)/(6))

Cost of
(33)/(7)kg of candy=
(7.50* 6)/(5)* (33)/(7)= $
(297)/(7)

Cost of
(33)/(7)kg of candy=$42.43

Hence, cost of
of candy=$42.43
