Answer:

$72

Explanation:

To find the cost, multiply the price per pound by the number of pounds.

8.99(7.8)

= 70.12

This is closest to $72

Answer:

about 72 dollars

Step-by-step explanation

"about" tells us to round our numbers. Therefore, 7.8 becomes 8. As each pound is $8.99, we multiply the two and get 71.92, which is "about" 72.
