Lucio is buying candy he buys 1.7 pounds of gummy bears which cost $1.88 per pound and 0.8 pounds of caramels which cost $2.72 per pound what was the total cost of candy

If you have 1.7 pounds of gummy bears, and each pound of gummy bears cost 1.88 dollars, multiply to get $3.20 as the total cost of gummy bears. Repeat for the caramels and get $2.18 as the total cost for caramels. If you want the total cost of candy, add the costs of each candy. So $3.20 + $2.18 = $5.38. ANSWER: It will cost $5.38 to buy the candy.
