Answer:

$17.50

Explanation:

You have a table with a proportional relationship between weight and price, and the pair (weight, price) = (2 lb, $7.00) given. You want to know the price for a weight of 5 lb.

Proportion

A proportion that can be used to find the missing price is ...

price/weight = x/(5 lb) = ($7.00)/(2 lb)

Multiplying by 5 lb gives ...

x = $7.00 × (5 lb)/(2 lb) = $17.50

The price for 5 lb is $17.50.
