Answer 1

The cost of total quantity of candy bought is $578

Explanation:

The quantity of candy bought = 5
`(2)/(3)` =
`(17)/(3)` lbs

The types of candy bought = 12

So the total number of candy bought = 12 ×
lbs

Or, the total number of candy bought = 68 lbs

∵ 1 lbs = 1 pound

So, 68 lbs = 68 pound

As the price of 1 pound = $8.50

Hence the cost of total quantity of candy bought is $578 Answer
