Answer :

Answer:

$140

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Amount of chocolate = 100 Pounds

Amount of chocolate in one box = 1 1/4 Pounds =  5/4 Pounds

Number of boxes = 100/(5/4) = 80 boxes

Cost of one box = $1.75

Total selling price = 80×1.75 = 140

The total selling price for all the boxes of chocolate is $140

Answer: $140

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert

1 1/4 --> 1.25

Solve

100/1.25= 80

80*1.75= $140
