Question

Gorge bought 2.5 pounds each type of fruit shown on the sign. What is the total cost of the fruit he bought?

Answer 1

total cost = $8.60

Explanation:

given the cost of 1 pound, then we need to multiply by 2.5 to obtain the cost of 2.5 pounds.

total cost = cost of apples + cost of grapes + cost of bananas

expressed as an equation

total cost = (2.5 × $1.30) + (2.5 × $1.65) + (2.5 × $0.49)

= $3.25 + $4.125 + $1.225

= $8.60
