The answer would be 13 apples because 9.45/7= 1.35 so thats 1.35 per apple and if you divide 17.55/ 1.35 = 13 hope this helps out

First, figure out how much it costs for 1lb of apples:
9.45 ÷ 7 = 1.35

It costs 1.35 for 1lb of apples.

Now, divide 1.35 by 17.55 to get how many pounds of apples:
17.55 ÷ 1.35 = 13

$17.55 Can by 13lb of apples.

Hope this helps!!
