A. $33.71
B. $66.08
C. $30.34
D. $70.80

Answer 1

the correct cost would have to be b. $66.08. You have to divide $14.16 by 3, then multiply by 14.

Answer 2

All the information's required for solving this problem is already given in the question.
The cost of 3 bags of birdseed = 14.16 dollars
Then
The cost of 1 bag of birdseed = (14.16/3) dollars
So
The cost of 14 bags of birdseed = (14.16/3) * 14 dollars
= 198.24/3 dollars
= 66.08 dollars
So from the above deduction we can see that the correct option is option "B". The cost of 14 bags of birdseed is $66.08. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
