Answer: 2.8

Explanation:

Given Data:

Money spent by Paula for red bell peppers = $2.56

Money spent by Paula on green bell peppers = $1.92

Both pepper cost = $1.60/ pound

Therefore:

Total pounds of bell peppers bought by Paula

= cost of green bell pepper + red red bell pepper / price/pound

= $2.56 + $1.92 / $1.60

= $4.48 / $1.60

= 2.8 pounds

Paula bought 2.8pounds of pepper
