Question

the peach festival charges $5 for admission then$1.25 per pound of peaches picked. If Savanna went to the festival and picked 2.4 pounds of peaches,how many did she pay in total at the festival?

Answer 1

I'm glad you asked!

Explanation:

So let's do it step by step.

Already she has to pay $
`5` for going in.

She has
`2` whole pounds.

`1.25` x
`2=2.5` or
`2 (1)/(2)`

Add $
`5` and $
`2.5` .

`5+2.5 = 7.5`

Now let's do $1.25 divided by 10.

`$`$
`1.25` divided by $
`10`
`=0.125`

Now let's do
`0.125` times
`4`

`0.125` x
`4 = 0.5`

Now let's add 7.5 to 0.5

`7.5+0.5=8`
