Answer 1

answer $4.48. 0.49×3.5. 1.15×2.4

Answer 2

Cost of bananas per pound = $0.49

Cost of grapes per pound = $1.15

Cost of 3.5 pounds of bananas =
`3.5*0.49=1.715`

Cost of 2.4 pounds of grapes =
`2.4*1.15=2.76`

So, total cost of bananas and grapes are =
`1.715+2.76=4.475`

Hence Leanne paid $4.475 for bananas and grapes.
