3. At a candy store, you could get 7 giant lollipops for [tex]\$20.51[/tex]. How much would it cost to buy 4 lollipops?

1 lollipop [tex]= \$2.93[/tex]



Answer :

To determine the cost of buying 4 giant lollipops, we first need to know the cost of one lollipop, which is given as \[tex]$2.93. 1. First, identify the cost of a single lollipop: \( \text{Cost of 1 lollipop} = \$[/tex]2.93 \)

2. Next, to find the total cost of 4 lollipops, we simply multiply the cost of one lollipop by the number of lollipops we want to buy:
[tex]\[ \text{Total cost for 4 lollipops} = \text{Cost of 1 lollipop} \times \text{Number of lollipops} \][/tex]

3. Plugging in the values:
[tex]\[ \text{Total cost for 4 lollipops} = 2.93 \times 4 \][/tex]

4. After performing the multiplication, we get:
[tex]\[ \text{Total cost for 4 lollipops} = 11.72 \][/tex]

Therefore, the cost to buy 4 giant lollipops is \$11.72.
