Answer 1

Hi there! Bananas are sold at $0.80 per pound and grapes are sold at $2.50 per pound. To find out how much Mrs. Anderson spent overall, we need to find out how much she spent with each item and then add them up together. She bought 4.3 pounds of bananas and 2.1 pounds of grapes. Let's multiply each of them by the unit prices there are. 4.3 * 0.8 is 3.44 and 2.1 * 2.5 is 5.25. 3.44 + 5.25 is 8.69. There. Mrs. Anderson spent a total of $8.69.
