Question

pounds. How much did Sam spend?

Answer 1

4.68 dollars.

Explanation:

We are looking for how much money Sam spent on grapes. We know that each pound is 90 cents. We also know that Sam bought 5.2 pounds of grapes. We need to find how much he spent.

Our equation would be like this:

0.9 * 5.2 = x

To find X, we multiply 0.9 and 5.2.

4.68 = x

We now know that Sam spent 4.68 dollars on grapes.
