First, calculate the total cost of the chocolate fudge:
- Kyle bought 6 pounds of chocolate fudge.
- Each half-pound costs $2.85.
- There are 2 half-pounds in each pound.
So, the total cost is:
6 pounds} \times 2 \times 2.85 = 12 \times 2.85 = 34.20
The total cost of the fudge is $34.20.
Next, since Kyle received $5.80 in change, we can find out how much he gave the cashier by adding the change to the total cost:
Amount Kyle gave the cashier = 34.20 + 5.80 = 40.00
Kyle gave the cashier $40.00.
