To calculate the total cost of Mr. Elliot's candy, you need to multiply the number of pounds he purchased by the cost per pound.
In this case, Mr. Elliot purchased 4.50 pounds of licorice at $4.47 per pound.
To find the total cost, you can multiply 4.50 by $4.47:
4.50 pounds * $4.47/pound = $20.115
Since you need to round the answer to the nearest cent, you would round $20.115 to $20.11.
So, you are correct! The total cost of Mr. Elliot's candy is $20.11.
