Question

A customer pays $3.27 for oranges and $4.76 for pears. How many pounds of fruit does the customer buy?

Answer 1

Take 3.27 and divide that by 1.09  (for the oranges)
3.27/1.09=3lbs. of oranges
then take 4.76 and divide that by 1.19       (for the pears)
4.76/1.19=4lbs. of pears
add 4+3 to get how many lbs. in all
4+3=7
