Answer: It costs about 7.32 to buy enough lemons.

Explanation:

Each lemon yields 2 tablespoons, which is equal to one fluid ounce.

8 fluid ounces = one cup, 4 fluid ounces = half a cup

Four lemons will provide juice for one pie.

Cost of one pie = 4 0.61 = 2.44

Cost of three pies = 2.44 3 = 7.32

I really hope this helped. If not than I'm sorry.
