Answer: He bought 2.2lbs for $14.74

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use a rule of 3 here.

I'm going to write the cost on the left side of the fraction and the amount of pounds on the right side.

[tex]\frac{6.70}{14.74}=\frac{1}{x}[/tex]

This means $6.70 equals one pound. Therefore; $14.74 equals x pounds.

Solve for x.

[tex]x=\frac{14.74*1}{6.70}\\ x=\frac{14.74}{6.70}\\ x=2.2[/tex]
