Answer 1

Try multiplying quantity of fruit by the unit cost of fruit and then adding them together . . .

4($0.75) + 6($0.60) = $6.60

Answer 2

4($0.75) + 6($0.60)

Explanation:

Jane bought 4 apples and 6 bananas.

The cost of each apple = $0.75

The cost of each banana = $0.60

Therefore, to representing the total cost the expression will be

Total cost = 4($0.75) + 6($0.60)

= $6.60
