Question

Albert wants to buy two pomegranates and some peaches • The price of one pomegranate is $1.59. • The price of peaches is $1.19 per pound. Albert wants to no more than $10.00. Which graph represents the number of whole pounds of peaches Albert can buy?

Answer 1

He can buy 5 pounds of peaches.

Explanation:

2 pomegranates cost $3.18 so, subtract that from $10.00 and you get $6.82. Multiply the different number of pounds with the cost per pound until you go over $6.82. Then go back a pound and multiply. 5 pounds times $1.19 equals $5.95.
