Question

Last week the price of apples at a grocery store was $1.60 per pound. This week apples at the same grocery store on sale at 10% discount. What is the total price of 4 1/2 pounds of apples this week at the grocery store?

Answer 1

First, let's find the discount.

1.60 * 0.1 = $0.16 (the discount)

Second, subtract the discount to the original price.

1.60 - 0.16 = $1.44 (price after discount was applied)

Third, multiply to 4 1/2 to find how much it will cost.

1.44 * 4.5 = $6.48 (price of 4 1/2 pounds of apples with discount applied)

Best of Luck!

Answer 2

In this question, we're trying to find the price of a 4 1/2 pounds of apples.

We know that last week's price of the apples were at $1.60

We also know that the apples are currently on sale for a 10% discount.

Lets find the discount price of the apples:

Multiply 1.60 by 0.10.

1.60 · 0.10 = 0.16‬

Subtract 0.16‬ from 1.60

1.60 - 0.16‬ = 1.44‬

This means that the discounted apples per pound cost $1.44‬.

Now lets calculate the total price:

To find the total price, multiply 1.44 by 4.5

4.5 · 1.44 = 6.48‬

This means that 4 1/2 pounds of apples would could $6.48‬

Answer:

$6.48‬
