True.
The 6 apples cost $1.50
6×25=150
The 10 bananas cost $1
10×10=100
In total it is $2.50
1.5+1=2.5
Take off 10%:
2.5×0.9=2.25
$2.25

Answer 2

Answer:  True. Jim will owe the store $2.25.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Jim goes to the store and buys 6 apples for 25 cents each and 10 bananas for 10 cents each Jim had a 10% off coupon.

We are to check whether the following statement is true of false :

"Jim will owe the store $2.25."

We know that

1 cent = $0.01.

So, 25 cents = $(0.01 × 25) = $0.25,

     10 cents = $(0.01 × 10) = $0.1.

That is, the total amount in dollars to be paid by Jim will be

$\ (0.25\times 6+0.1\times 10)=\ (1.5+1)=\ 2.5.$

Since Jim has a coupon of 10% off, so the total amount in dollars that Jim owe to the store is given by

$A\\\\=\ (2.5-10\%\times2.5)\\\\\\=\ (2.5-\dfrac{10}{100}\times2.5)\\\\\\=\ (2.5-0.25)\\\\=\ 2.25.$

Thus, Jim will owe the store $2.25. True.
