David and Mary pay $4.41 each for their candy.

David and Mary are both candy lovers, and they decided to split the cost of a pound each of jelly beans, gumdrops, and peppermints. According to the image you sent, the price of jelly beans is $2.37/pound, the price of gumdrops is $3.23/pound, and the price of peppermints is $2.37/pound.

To find the total cost of the candy, we need to add the price of each type of candy:

Total cost = price of jelly beans + price of gumdrops + price of peppermints

Total cost = $2.37/pound + $3.23/pound + $2.37/pound

Total cost = $8.81

Since David and Mary are splitting the cost, each of them would pay half of the total cost:

Cost per person = total cost / 2

Cost per person = $8.81 / 2

Cost per person = $4.41

Therefore, David and Mary would each pay $4.41 for a pound each of jelly beans, gumdrops, and peppermints.
