Question

You are going to the store to buy some groceries. For your shopping list, you've noted the items and quantity of each item from a weekly ad. You have been given $25 to buy the items. With any money left over, you've been told you can buy as many pounds of your favorite candy (Neon Sour Gummy Worms) as you are able to. To view the weekly Ad, click here. You will see the items you need to buy and the quantity on the Ad, plus the candy you hope to buy.

1. Write down the individual item names and the individual costs of the items you want to buy. Then calculate the total of those costs.

Answer 1

The total cost of the groceries listed (apples, bananas, grapes, and raspberries) comes to $10.70. With $25 at their disposal, the student has $14.30 left, which can be used to purchase Neon Sour Gummy Worms or any other candy.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total cost of the groceries from the weekly ad, we need to use the method provided in the chapters which involves multiplying the quantity of each item by its price. Following the given examples, we compute the costs of the items listed.

• 10 apples × $0.50 each = $5.00 spent on apples
• 12 bananas × $0.20 each = $2.40 spent on bananas
• 2 bunches of grapes × $0.65 each = $1.30 spent on grapes
• 1 pint of raspberries × $2.00 each = $2.00 spent on raspberries

Now, we sum up the costs to find the total.

Total cost = $5.00 + $2.40 + $1.30 + $2.00 = $10.70.

Given that the student has $25 to spend, we subtract the total cost of the groceries from $25 to find out how much is left for the Neon Sour Gummy Worms.

Money left for candy = $25.00 - $10.70 = $14.30.

The student can buy $14.30 worth of their favorite candy with the remaining funds.

The total cost of the groceries is $10.70, leaving $14.30 to spend on Neon Sour Gummy Worms.
