Answer:

$4.60

Step-by-step explanation:

1 lb ---> 80 cents

5 3/4 lb ---> 5 3/4 * 80 cents

[tex] 5 \dfrac{3}{4} \times 80 = [/tex]

[tex] = \dfrac{23}{4} \times \dfrac{80}{1} [/tex]

[tex] = \dfrac{23 \times 80}{4 \times 1} [/tex]

[tex] = \dfrac{1840}{4} [/tex]

[tex] = 460 [/tex]

460 cents = $4.60
5.75 x .80 = $4.60 total charge
