Answer 1

Answer:

$7.14.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Ms. Morgan bought 3.5 pounds of bananas at $0.51 per pound and 4.5 pounds of pineapple at $1.19 per pound.

The total cost of all items would be cost of 3.5 pounds bananas plus cost of 4.5 pounds of pineapples.

$\text{The total cost}=3.5\times \ 0.51+4.5\times\ 1.19$

$\text{The total cost}=\ 1.785+\ 5.355$

$\text{The total cost}=\ 7.14$

Therefore, Ms. Morgan paid $7.14 for the bananas and pineapple.

Answer 2

3.5*0.51 = 1.785
4.5*1.19 = 5.355
1.785 + 5.355 = 7.14
Ms Morgan paid $7.14c for the bananas and pineapples.
