Question

Nancy was buying peaches to make a cobbler. She needed 4.5 pounds of peaches, and they are on sale for $1.60 per pound. How much will the peaches cost?​

Answer 1

Given:

Required quantity of peaches = 4.5 pounds

Cost of peach = $1.60 per pound.

To find:

The total cost of required peaches.

Solution:

We know that,

Total cost = Number of units × Cost per unit

Now,

`\text{Total cost of peaches}=\text{Number of peaches}* \text{Cost per peach}`

`\text{Total cost of peaches}=4.5* 1.60`

`\text{Total cost of peaches}=7.20`

Therefore, the total cost of peaches is $7.20.
