Question

Greg went to the store. He bought 5 kilograms of purple beads, 1/2 of a kilogram of orange beads, and 2 kilograms of white beads. How much did he spend?

Answer 1

Altogether, Greg spent $22.71.

Explanation:

1) 5kg × $2.75 = $13.75

Purple beads: Spent $13.75

2) 1/2 kg = 1.5kg

1.5kg × $1.84 = $2.76

Orange beads: Spent $2.76

3) 2kg × $3.10 = $6.20

White beads: Spent $6.20

4) Add them all together.

$13.75 + $2.76 + $6.20 = $22.71

Hope this helps. :)
