He saw that puppy chow costs $3.98 per pound, cockatiel food costs $2.98 per pound, dog bones cost $0.78 per pound, and dog collars are 2 for $1.00. Chandler bought 4.5 pounds of puppy chow, 3.5 pounds of cocktiel food, 12.75 pounds of dog bones, and 1 dog collar. How much money did Chandler spend at Pet Store?A. $38.09B. $28.74C. $38.79D. 39.59

Answer 1

We will have that he spent the following amount of money in the store:

`m=4.5(3.98)+3.5(2.98)+12.75(0.78)+(1)/(2)(1)\Rightarrow m=38.785`

So, Chandler spent $38.785 at the store.
