Cost per pound of confetti = $3.44 per pound

Explanation:

The cost per pound of the Confetti = Total material cost divided by the total pound

Total material cost = (2*$4.07) + (4 * $2.71) + (2 * $4.25) = $27.48

Total number of pounds = 2 + 4 + 2 = 8 pounds

Cost per pound of confetti = $27.48 / 8 pounds = $3.44 per pound

Cost per pound of confetti = $3.44 per pound
