To find the number of full bags the store can make, we need to divide the total pounds of mulch by the weight of each bag.
Total pounds of mulch = 7712 pounds
Weight of each bag = 214 pounds
Number of full bags = Total pounds of mulch / Weight of each bag
Number of full bags = 7712 pounds / 214 pounds
Now, let's calculate the total sales price of all the bags of mulch.
Price of one bag = $2.25
Total sales price = Number of full bags * Price of one bag
Substituting the values:
Total sales price = Number of full bags * $2.25
Now you can simply substitute the value of the number of full bags that we calculated earlier to find the answer.
