Final answer:

Pete spent a total of $18 on peppers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pete spent a certain amount of money on each type of pepper. Let's calculate the total amount he spent:

  1. He bought 3 pounds of chili peppers at $2 per pound. So, he spent $2 x 3 = $6 on chili peppers.
  2. He bought 5 pounds of habanero peppers at $2 per pound. So, he spent $2 x 5 = $10 on habanero peppers.
  3. He bought 1 pound of red bell peppers at $2 per pound. So, he spent $2 x 1 = $2 on red bell peppers.

To find the total amount he spent, we sum up the amounts spent on each type of pepper: $6 + $10 + $2 = $18. Therefore, Pete spent $18 in total.

Chili peppers: 3 pounds x $2 per lb = $6
Habanero peppers: 5 pounds x $2 per lb = $10
Red bell peppers: 1 pound x $2 = $2
6+10+2= $18 dollars spent total
