Answer 1

To calculate the total cost for each fruit, multiply the quantity of the fruit by its price per pound. Using this method, the total costs are found for bananas, grapes, oranges, and apples, as listed in the exercise.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculating Total Cost of Fruit

To find the total cost of each quantity of fruit, you need to multiply the weight of the fruit by its cost per pound. This is a basic arithmetic operation which is often taught in middle school mathematics.

For 3 pounds of bananas at $1.95 per pound, the total cost is 3 × $1.95 = $5.85.

For 4 pounds of grapes at $2.37 per pound, the total cost is 4 × $2.37 = $9.48.

For 3 pounds of oranges at $1.95 per pound, the total cost is 3 × $1.95 = $5.85.

• For 2 pounds of apples at $2.68 per pound, the total cost is 2 × $2.68 = $5.36.

Each item on the left has been matched with the corresponding total cost to the right as requested in the exercise.

grapes=4*2.37=$9.48

oranges=3*1.95=$5.85

apples=2*2.68=$5.36
