Question

What are the units for the variable in the following scenario?

Sherry bought 6 apples at 43° per apple. She then bought 4 oranges at 510
per orange. How much was her grocery bill?

Answer 1

The units for the variable in this scenario are dollars ($). Sherry's grocery bill was $298.

Step-by-step explanation:

The units for the variable in this scenario are dollars ($) as we are calculating the grocery bill, which is a measure of money. Sherry bought 6 apples at 43° per apple, and she bought 4 oranges at $10 per orange. To calculate the total grocery bill, we multiply the quantity of each fruit by the price and add them together:

Total grocery bill = (6 apples x $43) + (4 oranges x $10)

= $258 + $40 = $298

Therefore, Sherry's grocery bill was $298.
