Question

The expression provided is incomplete or contains a syntax error. It appears to represent the cost of apples, but there is a syntax issue with the expression.

Answer 1

The question concerns a misunderstanding of a prompt rather than a true error. In mathematics, to calculate the total cost of fruit, for example, the cost of apples, you multiply the quantity by the price, which does not reveal any syntax errors in the provided expressions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The syntax error mentioned in the question seems to be an instructional prompt rather than an actual error in the mathematical expression itself. When computing the cost of apples or other fruit, you simply multiply the quantity of the item by its price to find the total amount spent. For example:

• 10 apples × 50 cents each = $5.00 spent on apples in 2001.
• 12 bananas × 20 cents each = $2.40 spent on bananas in 2001.
• 2 bunches of grapes at 65 cents each = $1.30 spent on grapes in 2001.
• 1 pint of raspberries at $2 each = $2.00 spent on raspberries in 2001.

The cost of each fruit item for that year is accurately calculated by these expressions, and there is no syntax error present in the math expressions provided.
