Question

At a grocery store salted peanuts in the shell cost 30¢. Is $5.00 enough money to buy 1 pound? If so how much money will be left over?

Answer 1

Yes

20 cents

Explanation:

Assuming the cost of peanuts is 30 cents per ounce.

We have to find the cost of 1 pound of peanuts.

We know that,

1 pound = 16 ounces

$1 = 100 cents

Cost of 1 pound peanuts = 30 x 16

= 480 cents = $4.80

Yes, $5.00 is enough to buy 1 pound peanuts.

Money left = $5- $4.80 = $0.20

Money left is equal to 20 cents.
