Answer:
$0.15
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of each pounds of banana = $0.80
Number of pounds of banana = 2 1/4 pounds
Total cost of banana = $0.80 × 2 1/4 pounds
= 0.80 × 9/4
= 0.80 × 2.25
= 1.8
Total cost of banana = $1.8
Cost of each pounds of strawberry = $1.10
Number of pounds of strawberry = 1 1/2 pounds
Total cost of strawberry = $1.10 × 1 1/2 pounds
= 1.10 × 3/2
= 1.10 × 1.5
= 1.65
Total cost of strawberry = $1.65
How much more did Megan spend on bananas than on strawberries?
Total cost of banana - Total cost of strawberry
= $1.8 - $1.65
= $0.15
