Question

Ginny bought 2.2 pounds of bananas at a cost of $0.49 per pound and 1.3 pounds of grapes at a cost of $1.29 per pound. What was the total cost of the bananas and grapes Ginny purchased?

Answer 1

$2.76

Explanation:

one pound of bananas cost $0.49 , multiply this cost by 2.2 to find the cost at this weight.

2.2*0.49=1.078=1.08

1.3*1.29=1.677=1.68

1.08+1.68=2.76

Answer 2

$2.76

Explanation:

Price per pound times the number of pounds Ginny bought

Bananas:

2.2*0.49 = 1.078 -> 1.08

Grapes:

1.3*1.29 = 1.677 -> 1.68

Now, to find the total cost of both, add the prices together

1.08 + 1.68 = 2.76
