Question

Amanda buys 2.5 pounds of nuts. The

cost of nuts is $4.36 per pound. How
much do the nuts cost in all?

Answer 1

$10.90

Explanation:

First start by multiplying 4.36 by 2 so that you account for that.

4.36 x 2 = 8.72

Now find half of 4.36 to account for the extra half.

4.36/2 = 2.18

add 2.18 to the total and you're done!

8.72 + 2.18 = $10.90

You can also multiply 2.5 and 4.36, which is much simpler.

I hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

10.9

Explanation:

4.36 x 2.5 = 10.9
