Answer 2

horizontal line with a open circle at (20,10) and an closed circle at (30,10)

$ 207.50

Explanation:

20.75 is between 20 and 30

From the given table , we can see that

for more than 20, up to 30 pounds, the cost per pound is $10

This means, the pounds greater than 20 and less than 30 cost per pound is $10

More than 20 means pounds not equal to 20. its close to 20

So there is a open circle at 20

Cost per pound remains the same from 20 to 30

So horizontal line with a open circle at (20,10) and an closed circle at (30,10)

Total cost of 20.75 pounds of almonds = 20.75 * 10 = 207.50
