Answer 1

2.a. The price of 2.75 kg of pears is $4.62

2.b. The price of 0.19 kg of Pears is $ 0.3192

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The price of each kilogram of Pears = $1.68

Therefore, we have;

The price of a given mass of Pears = The mass in Kg of the Pears × The price per kg of Pears

2.a. The price of 2.75 kg of pears = The mass × The price per Kg = $1.68/kg × 2.75 kg = $4.62

The price of 2.75 kg of pears = $4.62

2.b. The price of 0.19 kg of Pears = The mass × The price per Kg = $1.68/kg × 0.19 kg = $ 0.3192
