    The amount he should pay for 5 pounds of mushrooms is $3.6

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given data is that,

    Bowser bought 6 pounds of mushrooms at a rate of $4.32

    At the same rate, determining that how much he should pay for 5 pounds of mushrooms is given by the rate formula.

    Rate = total cost / total number of mushrooms

    Now, Rate = 4.32 / 6

    Let us assume, the cost for 5 pounds as 'x' dollars.

    Therefore, Rate = x / 5

    To find the value of x, compare both the rates:

    ⇒ 4.32 / 6 = x / 5

    bringing 5 to the left side of the equation,

    ⇒ (4.32*5) / 6 = x

    ⇒ x = 21.6 / 6

    ⇒ x = 3.6 dollars

    The amount he should pay for 5 pounds of mushrooms is $3.6
