Final answer:
To determine the total bill for the fruits, you would typically multiply the weight of each fruit by its price per pound, which the question has not provided. Instead, we discussed how to calculate the total cost using example fruit prices that were given for apples, bananas, grapes, and raspberries resulting in a combined total of $10.70.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the total bill for the apples, peaches, and pears, we need the price per pound for each type of fruit. Since the question does not provide the specific prices per pound for the fruits mentioned, we cannot calculate the exact total bill for the 3.19 pounds of apples, 1.45 pounds of peaches, and 2.31 pounds of pears. However, we can look at how to calculate the cost using the example of other fruits provided.
Example Calculation:
Let's say we want to compute the amount spent on apples in 2001 using the given price:
- 10 apples × 50 cents each = $5.00 spent on apples in 2001.
To find the total cost spent on the entire fruit basket using provided prices for different fruits:
$5.00 (apples) + $2.40 (bananas) + $1.30 (grapes) + $2.00 (raspberries) = $10.70 (total cost).
Using this method, you would multiply the pounds of the fruits you bought by their respective prices per pound to find the total cost for each fruit. Then, you add up all the individual totals to find the overall total bill.
