Answer 1

$5.12

Explanation:

First, we need to identify what she bought for how much:

Elizabeth bought 3 pounds of apples for 89c a pound (.89*3)

She bought 2 pounds of oranges for 53c a pound (.53*2)

And she bought a loaf of bread for $1.39 (1.39)

apples = .89*3 = $2.67

oranges = .53*2 = $1.06

bread = 1.39*1 = $1.39

Now that we know the values of the individual items she bought, we can add them up:

$2.67

+$1.06

+$1.39

= $5.12

(All in all, in the end this is just some simple addition and multiplication)
