Answer:
1. $27.84
Explanation:
Question 1
Trail mix is 2.32 pounds and it costs 3.50 dollars per pound. Hence the total cost for Trail mix is 2.32 X 3.50= $ 8.12
He bought twice as many ponds of dried fruit.....2.32 X 2 = 4.64 pounds
the cost of dried fruit will be 4.64 X $ 4.25 = $19.72
The total cost is therefore $8.12 + $19.72 = $27.84
Question 2
Yes, she bought enough dried nuts and mixed fruits for the party.
a. You identify the things she bought
b. You find out whether the money she paid was enough for the quantity she was to buy
c. You now calculate to see if it was enough. that is
she wants a total of 6 pounds of dried fruit and mixed nuts.
she pays $21.60 for mixed nuts and and it is sold at $6.75 per pound
21.6÷ 6.75 = 3.2 pounds of mixed nuts
she pays $11.90 for dried fruit and it is sold at $4.25 per pound
$11.90÷$4.25 = 2.8 pounds
when we add the total quantity of items she bought: 3.2 + 2.8 = 6 pounds. thus she bought enough.
