Answer:

$6.48‬

Explanation:

First, let's find the discount.

1.60 * 0.1 = $0.16 (the discount)

Second, subtract the discount to the original price.

1.60 - 0.16 = $1.44 (price after discount was applied)

Third, multiply to 4 1/2 to find how much it will cost.

1.44 * 4.5 = $6.48 (price of 4 1/2 pounds of apples with discount applied)
