he payed $15.30 is you divide 13.60 by 8 you get 1.70then you just add 13.60+1.70 because he also bought a pound

Answer:$18.70

Explanation:

Given Parmesan cheese was on sale for $13.60 per pound

Welsey bought a piece of the parmesan cheese that weighted \frac{11}{8} pounds

we need to spend$13.60 for 1 pound

for
(11)/(8) pound


(11)/(8)* 13.60=$18.72

So Wesley need to spend $18.70 to get the Parmesan cheese.
