Answer:

$5.61

Step-by-step explanation:

The approximate weight of each grapefruit = 165 grams

First, calculate the total weight of 40 grapefruits.

$\begin{gathered} \text{Total Weight}=165*40 \\ =6600\text{ grams} \\ =(6600)/(1000)kg \\ =6.6\operatorname{kg} \end{gathered}$

Since the orchard charges $0.85 to ship a kilogram of grapefruit, the cost of shipping 40 grapefruits will be:

$\begin{gathered} C=0.85*6.6 \\ =\$5.61 \end{gathered}$
