Final answer:
The correct answer is A) Fruits and vegetables, as these are typically weighed at the front end of the register's scale in a supermarket, while other items like canned goods, clothing, and electronics are pre-packaged and have pre-determined weights.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks which items can be weighed at the front end of the register's scale in a supermarket or store setting.
The items typically weighed at a register's scale include fresh produce like fruits and vegetables, which a customer selects from the produce aisle.
This means the correct answer is A) Fruits and vegetables.
Canned goods, clothing, and electronics are typically pre-packaged with a fixed weight and have standardized barcodes to scan, hence they are not weighed at the register.
Soft drinks might be sold in cans or bottles, but they also have a fixed volume and weight, so they too would not be weighed at the register.
A list of items that are not weighed would include:
- The weight of a dog
- The weight of a camper
- Soda in a can
- A television set
- An automobile
Produce, such as bananas, is a typical item which would be weighed to determine price, as it can vary in weight for each selection.
In comparison, long-lasting durable goods like automobiles or electronics, and even nondurable goods like canned food, are generally sold at a set price and are not weighed at the point of sale.
