Math Problem Statement

At the grocery store, apples cost dollar sign, 2, point, 8, 9$2.89 per pound, tomatoes cost dollar sign, 2, point, 1, 3$2.13 per pound, and onions cost dollar sign, 1, point, 5, 5$1.55 per pound. Levi buys 22 pounds of apples, 44 pounds of tomatoes, and 22 pounds of onions. How much is the total cost?

Solution

To find the total cost, we calculate the cost for each type of produce separately and then sum them up.

Given Prices:

  • Apples: $2.89 per pound
  • Tomatoes: $2.13 per pound
  • Onions: $1.55 per pound

Given Weights:

  • Apples: 22 pounds
  • Tomatoes: 44 pounds
  • Onions: 22 pounds

Step 1: Compute the cost for each type

Cost of apples=22×2.89=63.58\text{Cost of apples} = 22 \times 2.89 = 63.58 Cost of tomatoes=44×2.13=93.72\text{Cost of tomatoes} = 44 \times 2.13 = 93.72 Cost of onions=22×1.55=34.10\text{Cost of onions} = 22 \times 1.55 = 34.10

Step 2: Find the total cost

63.58+93.72+34.10=191.4063.58 + 93.72 + 34.10 = 191.40

Final Answer:

Levi's total cost is $191.40.
