Anice’s mother gave her a ten dollar bill to buy five pounds each of bananas and apples at the grocery store. When she got there, she found that bananas were 80¢ per pound and apples were $1.40 per pound.

Did Janice’s mother give her enough money? If so, should she receive any change? If not, how much more money does she need?

Answer:

No, she didn't give her enough money. She needs $1 more.

Explanation:

5 pounds of bananas at 80¢ per pound


5*0.80=$4.00

5 pounds of apples at $1.40 per pound


5*1.40=$7.00

$4.00 + $7.00 = $11.00

Subtract Anice's $10 from $11.00


11-10=1

Anice needs $1 more
