Answer 2

Answer:

Cost of berries = $2.19(4.5 + 3.25)

Step-by-step explanation:

Katrina is shopping for berries that cost $2.19 per pound.

She has 4.5 pounds of raspberries so cost of raspberries = 2.19×4.5

She has 3.25 pounds of blueberries in her cart so cost of the blueberry will be = 2.19×3.25

Now Total cost of the berries = Cost of raspberries + Cost of blueberries

Cost of the berries = (2.19 × 4.5) + (2.19 × 3.25)

                               = 2.19(4.5 + 3.25)

Therefore, expression which shows the cost of the berries will be

Cost of berries = $2.19(4.5 + 3.25)
