I don’t know but hopefully knows it good luck

Answer 2

A.

Apples- About $10/pound

Oranges- About $8/pound

Bananas- About $6/pound

B.

Annie spent about $24 in total.

C.

(1.75 X 5) + (2.35 X 4) + (1.50 X 3) = 22.65 (dollars)

My estimation was more than the actual amount. I think that the estimation was more because most of the unit prices had to be rounded up, not down.
