Question

The line plot shows the weights of packages of meat available at a grocery store. The 3 lightest packages cost $4.40 per pound. The remaining packages cost $4.80 per pound. If a customer buys all available packages, how much does she spend? Choose the numbers to complete the statements.

Answer 1

Answer:

$42.40

Step-by-step explanation:

The horizontal axis is in fractions.

The three lightest are two  $\frac{5}{8}$ pounds & one  $\frac{6}{8}$ pounds. Each cost $4.40 per pound.

So cost = 4.40(5/8+5/8+6/8) = $8.8

Remaining costs 4.80 per pound. We add up the remaining and multiply by 4.80 to get their cost.

cost = $4.80(1+1\frac{1}{8}+1\frac{1}{8}+1\frac{1}{8}+1\frac{2}{8}+1\frac{3}{8})=33.6$

Hence, total cost =  8.8 + 33.6 = $42.40
