Hey there!
To solve this problem, first turn the mixed numbers to improper fractions then multiply 2 2/3 and 1 1/4 . . .
2 2/3 = 8/3
1 1/4 = 5/4
8 x 5 = 40
3 x 4 = 12
= 40/12
Simplify 40/12 . . .
40/12 = 3 1/3 <--------
The answer to your question is option B.
The bananas weighed 3 1/3 pounds.
Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!
Answer: See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Your question isn't complete as you didn't give the sales tax percent. In order to solve the question, let's assume that the sales tax is 6%.
(a) What is the amount of sales tax that Mr. Speer has to pay?
This will be:
= Sales tax percent × Amount charged
= 6% × $300
= 6/100 × $300
= 0.06 × $300
= $18
The sale tax is $18
(b) What is the total amount Mr. Speer has to pay?.
The total amount will be the addition of the amount charged and the sales tax. This will be:
= $300 + $18
= $318
