Accepted Solution

A:
Answer: $78Step-by-step explanation: Find the number of blocks as following: [tex]blocks=\frac{9pounds}{\frac{3}{4}pounds}\\\\blocks=12[/tex] You know that they sell each block for $6.50. Therefore, if they sell all the fudge then you can calculate the amount of money they will make (which you can call x)  by multiplying the number of blocks by the price of each one of them. Therefore, you obtain: [tex]x=\$6.50*12\\x=\$78[/tex]
