Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of the 5 pounds of  Ashmend’s kernel apples is $7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

At a local farmer’s market , Jodi bought 3 pounds of Ashmead’s kernel Apples for $4.47 at the McDougal Orchards stand .

i.e

3 pounds = $ 4.47

Now find out the cost of 1 pound of Ashmend kernel apples .

$The\ cost\ of\ 1\ pound\ of\ Ashmend\ kernel\ apples = \frac{4.47}{3}$

                                                                         = $ 1.5 (Approx)

Cost of  5 pounds of Ashmend’s kernel apples = Amount of apples × Cost of 1 pounds of apples .

                                                                              = 5 × 1.5

                                                                              = $ 7.5

Therefore the cost of the 5 pounds of  Ashmend’s kernel apples is $7.5 .
