Question

Gina bought 2.3 pounds of red apples and 2.42 pounds of green apples they were on sale for $0.75 a pound. How much did the apples cost altogether

Answer 1

0.75 x 2.3 = 1.725
0.75 x 2.42 = 1.815
1.725 + 1.815 = 3.54
So the apples cost $3.54
Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Hey You!

You must use multiplication to solve:


0.75 (Cost of per pound) × 2.3 (Amount of pounds) = 1.725


0.75 (Cost of per pound) × 2.42 (Amount of pounds) = 1.815


1.725 + 1.815 = 3.54


The apples cost $3.54 together. =)
