Answer 2

Carlos initially owed $4.34. After adding two more bags of apples at $2.38 each, he owes an additional $4.76. The new total Carlos owes is $9.10.

To calculate the new total cost of Carlos's order after adding two more bags of apples, we need to first determine the cost of one bag of apples and then multiply it by two for the two additional bags. The cost of one bag of apples is provided as $2.38. Now, multiplying this amount by two gives us:

2 bags of apples × $2.38 per bag = $4.76

Now add this to the previous total:

Previous total + Cost of two more bags of apples = $4.34 + $4.76 = $9.10

Therefore, Carlos owes a new total of $9.10 after adding two more bags of apples to his order.
