Answer:

Total dollars = 35 dollars.

Explanation:

Below is the given values:

Number of cups = 8 cups

Number of gallons = 3 gallons

Price of soil per quart = $2.50

Now convert the cups and gallons into quart.

Total quart = 8 cups + 3 gallons

Total quart = 8 / 4 quart + 3 x 4 quarts

Total quart = 2 quart + 12 quart

Total quart = 14 quart

Total dollars amount = $2.50 per quart x 14 quart

Total dollars = 35 dollars.
