Answer 1

Cost of the 5 pounds of Ashmend’s kernel apples is $7.5

Explanation:

As given

At a local farmer’s market , Jodi bought 3 pounds of Ashmead’s kernel Apples for $4.47 at the McDougal Orchards stand .

i.e

3 pounds = $ 4.47

Now find out the cost of 1 pound of Ashmend kernel apples .

`The\ cost\ of\ 1\ pound\ of\ Ashmend\ kernel\ apples = (4.47)/(3)`

= $ 1.5 (Approx)

Cost of 5 pounds of Ashmend’s kernel apples = Amount of apples × Cost of 1 pounds of apples .

= 5 × 1.5

= $ 7.5

Therefore the cost of the 5 pounds of Ashmend’s kernel apples is $7.5 .
