Answer 2

$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
`4(5)/(7)kg` of candy=$42.43
