Question

What are the units for the variable in the following scenario?

Answer 1

Answer:

Her grocery bill was $4.62.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is some mistake in question so the correct question is:

Sherry bought 6 apples at 43¢ per apple. She then bought 4 oranges at 51¢ per orange. How much was her grocery bill?

Now, to find the grocery bill.

As the units are given:

43¢ per apple and

51¢ per orange.

$1 = 100¢.

So, the cost of 6 apples = $0.43\times 6=2.58$

Thus, the cost of 6 apples = $2.58

And the cost of 4 oranges = $0.51\times 4=2.04$

Thus the cost of 4 oranges = $2.04

Now, to get the total grocery bill we add the cost of apples and oranges:

$\ 2.58+\ 2.04$

$=\ 4.62$

Therefore, her grocery bill was $4.62.
