Answers
Answer:
$9.95
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of Eggs = $0.21 × 12 = $2.52
Cost of Apples = $2.90 × 2.5 = $7.25
Cost of Sugar = $0.36 × 1/2 = $0.18
Total Cost = $2.52 + 7.25 + 0.18 = $9.95
The total cost incurred is $9.95.
Given:
Rate of eggs=$0.21/ egg
Rate of apples=$2.90 per pound
Rate of sugar=$0.36 per pound
To find:
The total cost
Solution:
The cost of each item will be obtained by multiplying the quantity bought and price per item.
The total cost of 1 dozen eggs=cost of 1 egg×12
=0.21×12
=$2.52
The total cost of 2.5 pounds of apples=cost per pound×2.5
=2.90×2.5
=$7.25
The total cost of half a pound of sugar=cost per pound×1/2
=0.36×1/2
=$0.18
Now, the total required cost=cost of eggs+cost of apples+cost of sugar
Using values,
=2.52+7.25+0.18
=$9.95
Therefore, the total cost incurred is $9.95.
