Question

The table shows the price for ingredients in trail mix at the local grocery store. Joshua buys 1/5 pound of mixed nuts. 1/2 pound of chocolate candies, and 1 1/4 pound of granola to make the trail mix. How much did Joshua spend to make the trail mix? TYPE COST (per pound) Mixed Nuts $2.50 Chocolate Candies $3.40 Granola $5.60

Answer 1

$9.20

Explanation:

Mixed nuts = 1/5

Chocolate candies = 1/2

Granola = 1 1/4

Cost of the trail mix

Mixed Nuts $2.50

Chocolate Candies $3.40 Granola $5.60

= 1/5 * 2.50 + 1/2 * 3.40 + 1 1/4 * 5.60

= 0.5 + 1.7 + 7

= $9.20
