Final answer:
Each person will pay $3.18 for their share of the gummy bears. The total cost of the gummy bears was calculated by multiplying the weight by the price per pound, and then this amount was divided by the number of people sharing the cost.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate how much each person will pay for the gummy bears, the total cost of the gummy bears must first be computed. The total weight of the gummy bears is 13 1/4 pounds, and the cost per pound is $1.20. So, the total cost can be found by multiplying the weight by the cost per pound.
Total cost = 13.25 pounds x $1.20/pound = $15.90
Now, this total cost is divided evenly among Alfred and his four friends, making a total of five people sharing the cost.
Cost per person = $15.90 / 5 people = $3.18 per person
Therefore, each person will pay $3.18, which corresponds to answer choice B.
