Answer
Total cost = $2.34
Step-by-step explanation
We are told to find the total cost of these items to the nearest penny (that is, the nearest 0.01 dollar)
The items include
- 3.5 pounds of corn at $0.35 per pound
If 1 pound = $0.35
3.5 pounds = 3.5 × $0.35 = $1.225
- 1.5 pounds of tomatoes at $0.74 per pound
If 1 pound = $0.74
1.5 pounds = 1.5 × $0.74 = $1.11
The total cost = $1.225 + $1.11 = $2.335 = $2.34 to the nearest penny.
Hope this Helps!!!
