Answer 1

To find out the total cost after the price increase, calculate the new price of each bag by adding $1.54 to the original price, then multiply by the quantity needed. The total cost for 2 bags of potatoes and 4 bags of onions will be $34.22.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the cost of each item is increased by $1.54 next week, we need to calculate the new price for each of the mentioned items and then find out the total cost of buying 2 bags of potatoes and 4 bags of onions.

First, we will calculate the increased prices:

• Potatoes: Original price $5.25 + Increase $1.54 = New price $6.79 per bag
• Onions: Original price $3.62 + Increase $1.54 = New price $5.16 per bag

Next, we calculate the total cost of purchasing the required quantities:

• Cost of 2 bags of potatoes: 2 bags × $6.79 = $13.58
• Cost of 4 bags of onions: 4 bags × $5.16 = $20.64

The total cost of buying 2 bags of potatoes and 4 bags of onions will be the sum of the individual costs:

Total cost = Cost of potatoes + Cost of onions = $13.58 + $20.64 = $34.22
