Question

You buy 3.17 pounds of pears 1.35 pounds of grapes and 2.22 pounds of oranges what is your total bill?

Answer 1

Without the price per pound for the pears, grapes, and oranges, we cannot calculate the exact total bill. The reference shows how to calculate the cost of fruit by multiplying the unit price by the quantity and adding up the amounts.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total bill for the pears, grapes, and oranges, we would need the price per pound for each type of fruit. However, since the price per pound is not provided in the question or the reference information, we cannot calculate the exact total bill. The reference information does give examples of calculating the cost of fruit baskets in a similar context, by multiplying the price per unit by the number of units. 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.

Using this method, if we knew the price per pound for pears, grapes, and oranges, we could calculate the total bill by multiplying each weight by its respective price per pound and then adding the amounts together.
