How much more money did Sean spend on grapes than Cal?

Answer 1

Sean spend $0.25 more money on grapes than Cal.

Explanation:

Given:

Cal bought 2.4 pounds of red grapes that cost $2.55 per pound.

Sean bought 2.6 pounds of green grapes that cost $2.45 per pound.

Now, to find the money more Sean spend on grapes than Cal.

Total quantity of red grapes Cal bought = 2.4 pounds.

Cost of grapes = $2.55 per pound.

So, we get the money Cal spend on grapes by multiplying total quantity of red grapes Cal bought by cost of grapes:

`2.4* \$2.55\\\\=\$6.12.`

Thus, Cal spend $6.12 on grapes.

Now, to get the money Sean spend on grapes:

Total quantity of green grapes Sean bought = 2.6 pounds.

Cost of green grapes = $2.45 per pound.

So, to get the money Sean spend on grapes we multiply total quantity of green grapes Sean bought by cost of green grapes:

`2.6* \$2.45\\\\=\$6.37.`

Hence, Sean spend $6.37 on grapes.

Now, to get the money more Sean spend on grapes than Cal we subtract the money Cal spend on grapes from the money Sean spend on grapes:

`\$6.37-\$6.12\\\\=\$0.25.`

Therefore, Sean spend $0.25 more money on grapes than Cal.
