I have a lot to solve I'm sorry ​

Answer 1

1.58

Explanation:

So, we know there are 2.1 pounds, and for every pound it costs 0.75 dollars.

We can multiply the 2.1 by the 0.75 to find our answer.

The easiest way to do this is multiply the two numbers on 2.1 seperatly:

2 * 0.75 = 1.5

0.1 * 0.75 = 0.075

Then add them together:

1.5 + 0.075 = 1.575

Now we can round this to the nearest cent(hundreths place), and since the thousandths place is 5, we round up:

1.58

So our answer is $1.58!

Hope this helps!
