Question

the peach festival charges $5 for admission then$1.25 per pound of peaches picked. If Savanna went to the festival and picked 2.4 pounds of peaches,how many did she pay in total at the festival?

Answer 1

Answer:

I'm glad you asked!

Step-by-step explanation:

So let's do it step by step.

Already she has to pay $$5$ for going in.

She has $2$ whole pounds.

$1.25$ x $2=2.5$ or $2 \frac{1}{2}$

Add $$5$ and $ $2.5$ .

$5+2.5 = 7.5$

Now let's do $1.25 divided by 10.

$$1.25$ divided by $$10$ $=0.125$

Now let's do $0.125$ times $4$

$0.125$ x $4 = 0.5$

Now let's add 7.5 to 0.5

$7.5+0.5=8$
