\(\begin{array}{rcll} \dfrac{30\ \text{cups} }{1\ \text{pound} } \cdot \dfrac{ $2.50 }{1\ \text{cup} } &=& \dfrac{ $2.50\cdot 30 }{1\ \text{pound} } \\\\ \dfrac{ $2.50\cdot 30 }{1\ \text{pound} } \cdot 5\ \text{pounds} &=& $2.50\cdot 30\cdot 5 \\\\ &=& $375.00 \end{array}\)

 

With 5 pounds you will make $375.00
