  1. Prompt: question_prompt: How much did Allison pay for the apples?
  2. Calculation: Allison bought 4.54.5 pounds of apples at $1.75\$1.75 per pound. To find the total cost, multiply the number of pounds by the cost per pound.
  3. Total Cost: Calculate the total cost: $\(4\).\(5\) \, \text{pounds} \times \$\(1\).\(75\)/\text{pound} = \$\(7\).\(875\).
  4. Rounding: Since we can't pay in fractions of a cent, we round the total cost to the nearest cent. \(\$7.875\) rounds to \(\$7.88\).
  5. Answer Verification: Check the answer choices to find the matching amount. The correct answer is A \(\$7.88\).
