Answer: They paid $11.20 for both pumpkins.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to sum both pumpkins’ weight.

  • Total weight: 13.24 + 10.6 = 23.84 pounds

Finally, to calculate the cost of both pumpkins, we have to multiply the cost per pound ($0.47) by the total weight obtained.

Mathematically speaking:

  • 23.84 x 0.47 = $11.20

They paid $11.20 for both pumpkins.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
