Answer:$70

Step-by-step explanation: if there are 3 seeds in each pot, you start by dividing 42 by 3. This equals 14. This shows how many pots you will need to use up all of the seeds. So to find how much it will cost, you multiply the amount of pots by the cost of each pot. So 14 times 5, which equals 70.
