Question

A. $23.29

B. $14.06

C. $11.65

D. $7.03

You can choose the correct amount that each person owes from these options.

Answer 1

To determine how much Tiana and AJ owe for the fruit salad ingredients, the cost of all items was added, totaling $10.70, and then divided by two. However, the calculated amount of $5.35 each does not match any of the given options, suggesting an issue.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount Tiana and AJ owe for their fruit salad ingredients, we need to add up the cost of all the items they purchased, which is found by multiplying the quantity of each fruit by its price. According to the information given, they purchased:

• 10 apples at 50 cents each: $5.00
• 12 bananas at 20 cents each: $2.40
• 2 bunches of grapes at 65 cents each: $1.30
• 1 pint of raspberries at $2 each: $2.00

Adding these amounts together gives us a total cost of:

$5.00 (apples) + $2.40 (bananas) + $1.30 (grapes) + $2.00 (raspberries) = $10.70.

Now, we divide the total cost by two, since Tiana and AJ are splitting the bill evenly:

$10.70 / 2 = $5.35.

Therefore, each person would owe $5.35, a figure that does not appear in the provided options, indicating a possible discrepancy in the question or options provided.
