Chocolate covered pretzels cost $8.50 a pound (lb). Nonpareils are $4.20 a pound (lb). Josh bought his mother 1/2 pound of the pretzels and 1/4 of a pound of nonpareils. How much did it cost? Don’t forget to add 8.25% for sales tax.

Answer:

$4.37

Explanation:

Pretzels

Costs $8.50 per pound

Gets half a pound

8.50/2=4.25

$4.25 for 1/2 pound

Do the same thing for nonpareils but with 4

4.20/4=1.05

1.05+4.25=5.30

5.30x8.25 sales tax (0.825)

5.30x0.825=4.3735

Round to nearest hundreth

$4.37
