O A $1.92
OB. $7.14
OC. $8.22
OD. $8.70

Answer 1

$8.22

Explanation:

Items purchased :

Banana = 3 pounds

Price per pound of banana = $0.69

Cost of 3 pounds of banana = (3 * 0.69) = $2.07

Apple = 5 pounds

Price per pound of apple = $1.23

Cost of 5 pounds of apple = (5 * 1.23) = $6.15

Total cost :

$(2.07 + 6.15) = $8.22
