Question

If apples cost $3.12 per pound and you have a bag that weighs 3pounds and 8 ounces, how much will you pay for those apples?

Answer 1

Answer: $10.92

Explanation:

Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, 8 ounces would be equivalent to half a pound. Thus, 3 pounds and 8 ounces = 3.5 pounds.

Since apples cost $3.12 per pound and we have 3.5 pounds, the total cost would be $3.12*3.5 pounds = $10.92
