Janice's mother gave her 10. Dollars to buy 5 pounds each pounds of bananas and apple she got there that bananas were 80c Per pound and apples were 1.40 per pound did her mother gave her enough money ?

Respuesta :

Total money Janice has: $10, so the total cost for the bananas and apples must be less than or equal to $10. 

Keeping this in mind, let's break this problem down.
1: The bananas: She needs 5 pounds of bananas, which cost $0.80 per pound. To find the total cost of bananas, multiply the cost by the number of pounds.
5($0.8)=$4. 

2. The apples: She also needs 5 pounds of apples at $1.40 per pound. To find the total cost, follow the same process as with the bananas:
5($1.4)=$7 for the total cost of the apples.

3. Now you have two separate costs: one for apples, and the other for bananas. Combined, the total cost is 4+7=11. Because Janice's mother only gave her $10, she's short a dollar. So no, she doesn't have enough money.
