Question

Elizabeth was at the grocery store. She bought 3 pounds of apples at $0.89 per pound, 2 pounds of oranges at $0.53 per pound, and a loaf of bread that cost $1.39. How much, in all, did Elizabeth spend at the grocery store?

Answer 1

Answer:

Elizabith bought 3 lbs of apples at $1.99 per lb.

This means that cost of 3 lbs of apple= $ (1.99×3)

i.e. cost of 3 lbs of apple= $ 5.97

Two loaves of bread at $.89 per loaf.

Cost of 2 loaves= $ (0.89×2)

i.e.

Cost of 2 loaves= $ 1.78

A box of cereal at $3.99 per box.

Cost of one gallon of milk at $3.19 per gallon.

This means that the total cost of his purchase is:

$ (5.97+1.78+3.99+3.19)

= $ 14.93

If Eliza paid with $20.

This means that the change she will receive is:

= $ (20-14.93)

= $ 5.07
