Question

At the farmers market, Nathaniel buys two dozen oranges at $3.50 per dozen, four kilograms of apples at $3.25 per kilogram, two kilograms of carrots at $1.90 per kilogram, and one kilogram of potatoes for $1.20. He received a 5% discount off his total bill. How much money did Nathaniel spend on fruits and vegetables at the farmers market?

Nathaniel spent $__at the farmers market.

Answer 1

Oranges: 2x3.50=7

Apples: 4x3.25=13

Carrots: 2x1.90=3.80

Potatoes: 1.20

Cost: 7+13+3.8+1.2=25

Discount: 25x0.05=1.25

Total cost: 25-1.25=23.75

He spent $23.75 at the farmers market.

Answer 2

2(3.50) + 4(3.25) + 2(1.90) + 1.20 =
7 + 13 + 3.80 + 1.20 = 25
if he received a 5% discount, then he paid 95%....
0.95(25) = 23.75 <===
