Question

Kennan bought 2.5 pounds of grapes at the grocery store for $0.98 per pound. How much did Kennan spend on grapes?

Answer 1

2.5 pounds*$0.98 = $2.45

Kennan spent $2.45 on 2.5 pounds of grapes

Answer 2

$2.45

Explanation:

In order to find the answer to this question you have to go off on what the question gives us to find the answer.

The grocery store characters $0.98 per pound and she has over two pounds of grapes so...

`0.98+0.98=1.96`

Then she purchases another half a pound of grapes which means you need to divide the costs per pound by two.

`0.98/2=0.49`

Then add:

`1.96+0.49=2.45`

`=2.45`

Hope this helps.
