Question

If Mitchell buys 3/10 of a pound of cream cheese and 3/10 of a pound of sour cream, how much will he spend?

plain yogurt $5 per pound​
sour cream $5 per pound​
Greek yogurt $3 per pound​
cream cheese $3 per pound​

Answer 1

$2.40

Explanation:

Take the price of each item and divide by ten to find the cost of 1/10:

3 divided by 10 = .3

5 divided by 10 = .5

Then multiply by the amount he is purchasing:

.3 x 3 = .9

.5 x 3 = 1.5

Add the prices together for a total:

.9 + 1.5 = 2.4
