Question

Bananas are priced at $0.39 per pound. If Harvey buys 7 pounds of bananas, whatwill he expect to pay?

Answer 1

He is expected to pay $2.73

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this, by adding 0.39 7 times:

`2\text{ }pounds\text{ }of\text{ }bananas:0.39+0.39=0.78`
`3\text{ }pounds\text{ }of\text{ }bananas:0.78+0.39=1.17`
`4\text{ }pounds\text{ }of\text{ }bananas:1.17+0.39=1.56`
`5\text{ }pounds\text{ }of\text{ }bananas:1.56+0.39=1.95`
`6\text{ }pounds\text{ }of\text{ }bananas:1.95+0.39=2.34`
`7\text{ }pounds\text{ }of\text{ }bananas:2.34+0.39=2.73`

Thus, 7 pound of bananas cost $2.73
