Answer 1

In this question, we're trying to find out how much Jamal spent on apples.

We know that he bought 2 pounds of red apples and 3.2 pounds of green apples.

We also know that each pound of apples, no matter what kind it is, are $1.65 a pound.

In order to find the total cost of these apples, we would need to multiply the amount of pounds he has to the cost per pound.

Solve:

2 · 1.65 = 3.3‬0

3.2 · 1.65 = 5.28‬

Add those numbers together:

5.28‬ + 3.30 =  8.58‬

This means that Jamal spent $8.58‬ on apples.

Answer:

$8.58‬
