Degger [83]

Answer:

The total price of $4\frac{1}{2}$ pounds of apples is <u>$6.48</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Last week,the price of apples at a grocery store was 1.60 per pound.This week,apples at the same grocery store are on sale for a 10% discount.

Now, to find the total price of 4 1/2 pounds of apples this week at the grocery store.

The price of apples at a grocery store last week was = $1.60 per pound.

This week apples at the same grocery store is on sale of 10% discount.

Thus, the price of apples at a grocery store this week is:

$1.60-10\%\ of\ 1.60.$

$=1.60-\frac{10}{100} \times 1.60$

$=1.60-0.16$

$=\$1.44.$

So, the price of apples per pound this week is $1.44.

Now, to get the total price of $4\frac{1}{2}$ pounds of apples by using unitary method:

If 1 pound of apples cost = $1.44.$

Then, $\frac{9}{2}$ pound of apples cost = $1.44\times \frac{9}{2}$

$=1.44\times 4.5$

$=\$6.48.$

Therefore, the total price of $4\frac{1}{2}$ pounds of apples is $6.48.

Zina [86]

Answer:

2 dimes, 1 nickel and 3 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of 2 postcards is $1. Any combination of coins that adds to $1 will work here. Remember, a penny is worth 0.01, a nickel is worth 0.05, a dime is worth 0.10, and a quarter is worth 0.25.

Adding 2 dimes, 1 nickel, and 3 quarters would be 2(0.10)+1(0.05)+3(0.25)=1.
