Answer 1

`\bold{ANSWER:}`
$14.84


`\bold{SOLUTION:}`

To calculate the amount of money Collin spent, we need to find the total cost of peanuts and almonds separately, then add them together.

The cost of peanuts is $1.59 per pound, and Collin bought 1.5 pounds:

Cost of peanuts = $1.59/pound * 1.5 pounds = $2.385

The cost of almonds is $4.15 per pound, and Collin bought 3 pounds:

Cost of almonds = $4.15/pound * 3 pounds = $12.45

Now, let's add the cost of peanuts and almonds together to find the total spent:

Total spent = Cost of peanuts + Cost of almonds Total spent $2.385 + $12.45 = $14.835

Therefore,

Collin spent $14.835 on peanuts and almonds.
