Question

Jacob purchased pounds of grapes and pounds of strawberries from a farmer's market. The cost of each pound of grapes is $2.64 and the cost of each pound of strawberries is $3.09. If the store offered a discount of 10% on the final bill, what was the amount Jacob paid to buy the fruits? Ignore sales tax.

Answer 1

Answer:

Amount of bill after discount will be 45.157

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that Jacob purchased pounds of grapes and pounds of strawberries

The cost of pound grapes is $2.64 per pound

And the cost of strawberries is $3.09 per pound

So total cost of grapes and strawberries = $2.64+$3.09 = $5.73

It is given that there is discount of 10% on the total bill

So discount $=\frac{5.73\times 10}{100}= 0.573$

So the amount of bill after discount = $5.73 - $0.573=$5.157
