The store was selling apples for 85 cents per pound. If my recipe for apple crisp calls for 5 1/2 Ib of apples, and I plan to triple the recipe, how much should I budget for the apples I will need.

Please help me with the question.
Thank you for your time.

Answer: 14.025

Step-by-step explanation: We know that 0.85 x 5.5 = 4.675, tripling the recipe will make it cost 14.025
