Given data:
- A gallon of milk costs $3.49
- A pound of orange costs $1.14
- A box of cereal costs $3.46
To find:
- Estimation of the total cost
Solution:
- We need to find the total cost of all products.
- Cost of three pounds of oranges is
- = $(3 × 1.14)
- = $3.42
- Then the cost of all the products is
- = $(3.49 + 3.42 + 3.46)
- = $10.37
Answer:
- Thus total cost would be $10.37 which is $(10.37 - 10) = $0.37 higher than the amount given to him by his mother.
