Question

A grocery store sells fruits with the following prices:

Fruit
Grapes 2.99
Strawberries 3.59
Apples 2.20
Cherries 4.25
Price per pound
What is the total cost of 6.35 pounds of strawberries and 1 ½ pounds of apples?

Answer 1

To calculate the total cost, you'll need to multiply the price per pound of each fruit by the number of pounds you're purchasing and then add those amounts together.

For strawberries:
Price per pound = $3.59
Pounds of strawberries = 6.35
Total cost of strawberries = $3.59 * 6.35 = $22.76

For apples:
Price per pound = $2.20
Pounds of apples = 1.5
Total cost of apples = $2.20 * 1.5 = $3.30

Now, add the total cost of strawberries and apples:
Total cost = $22.76 + $3.30 = $26.06

So, the total cost of 6.35 pounds of strawberries and 1 ½ pounds of apples is $26.06.
