Answer 1

At the grocery store, Garrett bought 1.75 pounds ground beef at $6.99 a pound, 1.35 pounds of broccoli at $2.49 a pound, and one Vidalia onion at $0.49. Which could be the total amount of his purchase?

Total Cost of Beef = 6.99 * 1.75 = 12.2325

Total cost of Broccoli = 2.49 * 1.35 = 3.3615

Total Cost of Onion = 0.49

The sum total = 12.2325 + 3.3615 + 0.49 = 16.084
