Respuesta :

We know that

• He purchases 0.4 pounds of jelly beans.

,

• Each pound costs 70 cents.

To determine the amount of money Larry paid, we can use the following proportion.

[tex]\frac{0.70}{1}=\frac{x}{0.4}[/tex]

Then, we solve for x.

[tex]x=0.70\cdot0.4=0.28[/tex]

Larry paid 28 cents for 0.4 pounds of jelly beans for his niece.
