Answer this multiple choice question correctly for 30 points and

  A.  $3.63

Step-by-step explanation:

You can choose the correct answer simply by estimating.

The almonds are about $5.50 for each of the 2 kg, so will total about $11. Since the total amount paid is just over $25, the amount paid for cashews is about $25 -11 = $14.

That amount pays for 4 kg of cashews, so 1 kg will be half of half that amount, or about $3.50 -- certainly, less than $7.26.

If you want to write an equation, you can write ...

  2(5.49) +4(c) = 25.50

  4c = 14.52 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 10.98

  14.52/4 = c = 3.63 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of c

1 kg of cashews has a price of $3.63.
