Question

A kilogram of pine nuts costs $84.84. If Ellen buys 2.5 kilograms of pine nuts,how much will she have to pay?

Answer 1

$212.10

Explanation:

1 kilogram of pine nuts = $84.84

To find the cost for 2.5 kilograms, multiply 2.5 by $84.84.

`\begin{gathered} \text{Cost of 2.5kg of pine nuts}=2.5*84.84 \\ =(2+0.5)*84.84 \\ =(2*84.84)+(0.5*84.84) \\ =169.68+42.42 \\ =\$212.10 \end{gathered}`

Ellen will have to pay $212.10
