The first 2 and last 2. I just did this assignment
Answer: The cost of 5.5 pounds strawberries =$ 7.98
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: A local grocery story has strawberries on sale for $1.45 per pound.
i.e. Cost for 1 pound strawberries = $1.45
Now, Cost of 5.5 pounds strawberries = 5.5 x (Cost for 1 pound strawberries)
= $ (5.5 x 1.45)
= $ 7.975 ≈ $ 7.98 [ Round to the nearest penny]
Hence, the cost of 5.5 pounds strawberries =$ 7.98
The answer to this equation would be 278.135
The distributive property (the 5 is distributed to both the x and -7)
