Here's what we're given:

1 lb strawberries = $6.59 (where the cost equals price × lb)

1 lb watermelon = $3.27 (where the cost equals price × lb)

c = combined cost (this is what we're looking for)

c = cost of strawberries + cost of watermelons

Going by the definition of strawberries' and watermelons' costs (cost is price times pounds), replace with variables.

c = (2 × $6.59) + (4 × $3.27)

c = 13.18 + 13.08

c = 26.26

c = $26.26
