The cost of pounds of apples is 2.85. Stacey bought 1 3/10 pounds of apples. What is the total amount Stacey paid?

To find the total amount Stacey paid for the apples, you need to multiply the price per pound by the number of pounds she bought.

Given:
- The cost per pound of apples is \$2.85.
- Stacey bought $ 1 \frac{3}{10} $ pounds of apples.

First, convert $ 1 \frac{3}{10} $ into a decimal:
\[
1 \frac{3}{10} = 1 + \frac{3}{10} = 1.3
\]

Now, multiply the cost per pound by the number of pounds:
\[
2.85 \times 1.3 = 3.705
\]

Thus, Stacey paid \$3.71 (rounded to two decimal places).
