Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of  0.76 pounds of onion is  $x = \ 0.988  $

The  cost of  1.5 pounds  of  peppers is $y = \ 1.455$

The  total cost is $z =  \ 2.443  $

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  cost of one pound of pepper is  C = $0.97

   The cost of one pound of onion is  $C_o = \ 1.30$

   Generally the cost of 0.76 pound of  onion is mathematically represented as

      $x =  \frac{0.76 * 1.30}{1}$

=>      $x = \ 0.988  $

   Generally the cost of 1.5pound of  peppers  is mathematically represented as

            $y  =  \frac{1.5 * 0.97}{1}$

=>          $y = \ 1.455$

The total cost of 0.76 pounds of onions and 1.5 pounds of peppers is

      $z =  x+ y$

=>    $z =  0.988 + 1.455$

=>    $z =  \ 2.443  $
