    The correct option is c,$36.60

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The key to solving this question lies around measurement conversion, specifically converting grams into its equivalence in kilograms.

    1000 grams equal one kilogram

    9 grams=9/1000 kg

    9 grams=0.009 kg

    70 grams=70/1000 kg

    70 grams=0.07 kg

    Julie pays=$600*0.009=$5.4

    Jacques pays=$600*0.07=$42

    Jacques pays $36.60 more ($42-$5.4) than Julie paid

    Option is wrong because that was what Julie paid

    Option D is wrong because that was what Jacques paid

    Option B is obviously wrong
