Answer 1

Step 1: Write out the formula for amount spent

`\text{ the amount spent }=\text{ the price per pound }*\text{ the number of pounds}`

Step 2: Find the amount she spent on gumballs

`\begin{gathered} \text{ the price per pounds of gumballs }=\text{ \$0.75 / lb} \\ \text{ the number per pounds of gumballs }=2\text{ lb} \end{gathered}`

Tnerefore

`\text{ the amount spent on gumballs }=2*0.75=\text{ \$1.50}`

Step 3: Find the amount she spent on chocolate drops

Therefore

`\begin{gathered} \text{ the price per pounds of chocolate drops }=\text{ \$1.80 / lb} \\ \text{ the number per pounds of chocolate drops }=3.25\text{lb} \end{gathered}`

Therefore,

`\text{the amount spent on chocolate drop}=\text{ 3}.25*1.80=\text{ \$5.85}`

Step 4: Find the amount spent on buying chocolate drops and gumballs

Amount spent on both items above= $5.85 + $1.50= $7.35

Therefore,

The amount spent on jellybeans = $10 - $7.35 =$2.65

Step 5 : find the number of pounds of jellybeans she can buy

`\begin{gathered} \text{amount of pounds jelly beans = }\frac{\text{amount spent on jellybeans}}{amount\text{ of jellybeans per pound}} \\ \text{Amount of pounds jelly beans = }(2.65)/(1.25)=\text{ 2.12 lb} \end{gathered}`

Hence she can buy only 2.12 lb of jellybeans

Step 6 : State the operations performed to get the answer

Firstly, We had to multiply the price per pound by the number of pounds for both Gumballs and Chocolate drops( Multiplication was used here)

Secondly, we had to add the prices of both Gumballs and Chocolate drops and then substract it from the amount she had on her(Addition and substraction were used here)

Lastly, we had to divide the amount spent on jellyneans by the amount of jellybeans per pound(Division was used here)

The operations used were Multiplication ,addition, substraction and division
