Question

Last week, the price of apples at a grocery store was $1.60 per pound. This week, apples at the same grocery store are on sale at a 10% discount. What is the total price of 4 pounds of apples this week at the grocery store? A $4.77 B $6.48 C $6.75 D $6.93

Answer 1

Answer:

$5.76

Step-by-step explanation:

First, calculate the current (sale) price per pound.  Noting that 10% off results in a multiplier of (1.00 - 0.10), or 0.90, and that the sale price is thus 0.90($1.60/lb), or $1.44/lb.

Four pounds of apples at this price would be (4 lb)($1.44/lb) = $5.76
