Answer 1

Kyra spent a total of $6.00 on apples over two days by buying 5 apples on Monday and 7 on Thursday, assuming apples cost 50 cents each.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the problem, we need to find out how much Kyra spent on apples over the two days. On Monday, Kyra bought 5 apples and on Thursday, she bought 7 apples. No price per apple is given, but we can use logic to deduce the price of the apples from the provided information.

The total amount Kyra spent on apples for the two days is calculated by multiplying the number of apples by the price per apple. Given the example that 10 apples cost $5.00 (50 cents each), we can apply this rate to Kyra's purchases. Since she bought 5 apples on Monday and 7 apples on Thursday, the total number of apples bought is 5 + 7 = 12 apples.

Thus, Kyra spent 12 apples × 50 cents each = $6.00 on apples over the two days.
