Mrs. Newcomer went to Giant for groceries. She paid $6 for 2 pounds of grapes.

How much would 7 pounds of grapes cost?

$21.00

Step-by-step explanation:
1.) Find the unit rate of dollars per pound:
$6 divided by 2 = $3
Unit rate is $3 per pound of grapes

2.) Multiply the unit rate per pound by 7 pounds of grapes:
$3 x 7 = 21

So she will pay 21$ for 7 pounds of grapes.

Brajnliest would be nice!

it would cost $21 because each pound is $3. So 7 pounds x $3 = $21 for 7 pounds
