Solution

The correct option is B 4.18 kg
Detailed step-by-step solution:
Total weight of strawberry and watermelon jelly beans = 6.97 kg
Weight of watermelon-flavored jelly beans = 2.79 kg
Weight of strawberry-flavored jelly beans = Total weight of jelly beans − Weight of watermelon-flavored jelly beans
= 6.97 kg − 2.79 kg


6.97 kg − 2.79 kg = 4.18 kg
So, the weight of strawberry-flavored jelly beans is 4.18 kg.
Hence, option A is correct.
