Answer: Darla would have to pay $17.69 before tax
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount in Darla's wallet = $15
She intends buying 2 gallons of fruit, 3 bags of chips and a box of cupcakes.
For the gallon of fruit
The first gallon of fruit cost $3.50
The second gallon of fruit has a discount of 50%. We have
(50/100) * 3.50
= $1.75
Therefore, the total amount for the two gallons of fruit =$3.50 + $1.75
= $5.25
Bag of chips
2 bags of chips cost $5 while 1 bag of chips cost $2.65
Since she intends to buy 3 bags of chips we have $5 + $2.65 = $7.65
1 box of cupcakes = $4.79
The total amount Darla is to pay for the groceries before tax equals
$5.25 + $7.65 + $4.79
= $17.69
This is more than the amount Darla has in her wallet
First, convert the kilograms to grams. One kilogram is 1000 grams. So multiply it by 1000. Then subtract 2305 from 4000. 4000-2305=1695. So 1695 grams were taken out.
