Question

Steven buys 2.32 pounds of trail mix and twice as many pounds of dried fruit. What is the total cost? Dried Fruit is $4.25 per pound Mixed Nuts is $6.75 per pound Trail Mix is $3.50 per pound​

Answer 1

The total cost is $29.84.

Trail mix = 2.32 lbs
Dried fruit = 2(2.32) lbs
Therefore, that is 4.64 lbs of dried fruit.

1 lb of trail mix costs 3.50
2.32 lbs of trail mix must cost = (2.32)(3.50) = $8.12

1 lb of dried fruit costs $4.25
4.64 lbs of dried fruit must cost (4.64)(4.25) = $19.72

Add the two costs up.

$8.12 + $19.72 = $29.84
