Isabella is working in a gift shop weighing jellybeans. The weight of the yellow jellybeans is 0.3 kilograms. The weight of the red jellybeans is 0.25 kilograms. The weight of the pink jellybeans is 0.1 kilograms more than the total weight of the yellow and red jellybeans. The weight of the green jellybeans is 0.18 kilograms more than the total weight of the red and pink jellybeans. What is the total weight, in kilograms, of all of the jellybeans that Isabella weighed?

a) 0.78 kilograms
b) 0.83 kilograms
c) 0.88 kilograms
d) 0.93 kilograms

Answer 1

To find the total weight of all the jellybeans, calculate the weights of each color and sum them up. The given weights are used to calculate the weight of each color, and the final answer is 0.83 kg.

Correct option is b.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total weight of all the jellybeans, we need to calculate the weights of each color of jellybean and then sum them up. Given that the weight of yellow jellybeans is 0.3 kg and the weight of red jellybeans is 0.25 kg, we can calculate the weight of pink jellybeans as the sum of yellow and red jellybeans plus 0.1 kg. Similarly, we can calculate the weight of green jellybeans as the sum of red and pink jellybeans plus 0.18 kg. Adding up all the weights, we get the total weight of all the jellybeans as 0.83 kg (option b).
