Final answer:

To find out how much change you get from purchasing 2.25 pounds of grapes with a $5 bill, multiply 2.25 by the cost per pound ($0.65), giving a total of $1.46 for the grapes. Subtract this from the $5 to get the change, which would be $3.54.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how much change you will get back after buying 2.25 pounds of grapes with a $5 bill, we need to know the price per pound of grapes. However, since the exact price per pound is not provided in the question, we can reference the given information that 2 bunches of grapes were bought for a total of $1.30 in 2001. If two bunches of grapes cost $1.30, each bunch would be $0.65. Assuming that a bunch of grapes is equivalent to 1 pound (which is typical for such questions, although not specified here), the cost for 2.25 pounds of grapes would be 2.25 times $0.65, which equals $1.46.

Let's calculate the change you would receive from a $5 bill:

Calculate the total cost of the grapes: 2.25 pounds × $0.65/pound = $1.46.

Subtract the total cost of grapes from the amount paid: $5.00 - $1.46 = $3.54.

Therefore, the change you would get back is $3.54.
