Annie is shopping at a local produce stand. She buys a watermelon for $2.75 and a bag of potatoes for $4.33. Calculate the sum of $2.75 and $4.33 to determine the total amount Annie spent at the produce stand.

$7.08

$7.80

$6.08

$1.58

Answer 1

To calculate the total amount that Annie spent, we need to add the cost of the watermelon ($2.75) and the bag of potatoes ($4.33).

\[
2.75 + 4.33
\]

Align the numbers by their decimal points:

```
2.75
+ 4.33
______
```

Now, add the numbers:

1. Add the hundredths place: \(5 + 3 = 8\)
2. Add the tenths place: \(7 + 3 = 10\) (write down 0 and carry over 1)
3. Add the units place: \(2 + 4 + 1 = 7\)

Putting it all together:

```
2.75
+ 4.33
______
7.08
```

Thus, the total amount Annie spent at the produce stand is **$7.08**.

The correct answer is **$7.08**.
