Question

Mason has $20.00 to buy groceries. He buys 2.6 pounds of apples. The apples cost $1.25 per pound. He bought 2 pounds of lunch meat that costs $4.65 per pound. Mason also bought

a loaf of bread that costs $2.99. How much change should he receive after his purchase? (do not include the dollar sign in your answer)

Answer 1

4.46

Explanation:

2.6 pounds of apples= 1.25 × 2.6 = 3.25

2 pounds of lunch meat = 4.65 × 2 = 9.3

a loaf of bread = 2.99

total = 3.25 + 9.3 + 2.99 = 15.54

change = 20.00 - 15.54 = 4.46

I hope this helps.

Have a nice day dear.
