Answer 1

a. Juwad earned $103.50 in the first week. b. Juwad earned $89.70 in the second week. c. Juwad earned $193.20 selling bags of apples in two weeks. d. Juwad picked 960 apples in two weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. To find out how much money Juwad earned in the first week, we need to multiply the number of bags of apples he picked (30) by the selling price of each bag ($3.45).

30 bags x $3.45 = $103.50

b. To find out how much money Juwad earned in the second week, we need to multiply the number of bags of apples he picked (26) by the selling price of each bag ($3.45).

26 bags x $3.45 = $89.70

c. To find out how much money Juwad earned selling bags of apples these two weeks, we add the amounts he earned in the first and second weeks.

$103.50 + $89.70 = $193.20

d. To find out how many apples Juwad picked in the two weeks, we need to multiply the number of bags he picked (30 + 26) by the number of apples in each bag (15).

(30 + 26) bags x 15 apples = 960 apples

Expression: (30 + 26) * 15
