Answer 1

The total cost of the wheat grinder and the washing machine is $341,795. One should pay $287,845 more for the washing machine than for the grinder.

a. To find the total cost, you need to add the cost of the wheat grinder and the washing machine. $26,975 + $314,820 = $341,795. Therefore, the total cost of the wheat grinder and the washing machine is $341,795.

b. To find out how much more one should pay for the washing machine than for the grinder, you need to subtract the cost of the wheat grinder from the cost of the washing machine. $314,820 - $26,975 = $287,845. Therefore, one should pay $287,845 more for the washing machine than for the grinder.
