How much does it cost to produce 10 whistles if each costs $0.75?

1. $7.50

2. $8.00

3. $9.00

4. $6.50

The correct answer is: $7.50

To find the total cost of producing 10 whistles, you need to multiply the cost of each whistle by the number of whistles being produced. In this case, each whistle costs $0.75. When you calculate it, you perform the multiplication: \[ 10 \, \text{whistles} \times 0.75 \, \text{dollars/whistle} = 7.50 \, \text{dollars} \] This calculation shows that producing 10 whistles will cost $7.50 in total. Thus, the reason $7.50 is the correct answer is that it accurately reflects the total cost based on the unit price and the quantity produced. In contrast, the other options would either suggest different quantities or prices that do not correctly reflect the simple multiplication needed to find the total cost in this scenario.
