Question

Maddox is buying dried fruit for his hiking trip. The table shows the cost of different types of dried fruit.
Dried Fruit Cost per Pound ($)

Apricots 2.98

Bananas 2.30

Cranberries 2.84

Pineapples 3.08



He bought 0.6 pound of bananas and 1.5 pounds of cranberries. If Maddox gave the cashier $10, how much change will he receive?

Answer 1

The total cost of bananas is 2.30 * 0.6 = $<<2.30*0.6=1.38>>1.38
The total cost of cranberries is 2.84 * 1.5 = $<<2.84*1.5=4.26>>4.26
The total cost of the dried fruit is 1.38 + 4.26 + 2.98 + 3.08 = $<<1.38+4.26+2.98+3.08=11.7>>11.7
Maddox will receive 10 - 11.7 = $<<10-11.7=-1.7>>-1.7 change. Answer: \boxed{-1.7}.
