First, we need to calculate the total cost of the grapefruit and the orange together.
Cost of grapefruit = $0.89
Cost of orange = $0.36
Total cost of grapefruit and orange = $0.89 + $0.36 = $1.25
Next, we will find out how much more the bag of potatoes cost than this total.
Cost of potatoes = $3.07
Now, we subtract the total cost of the grapefruit and orange from the cost of the potatoes:
$3.07 - $1.25 = $1.82
So, the potatoes cost $1.82 more than the grapefruit and the orange together.
The correct answer is **B. $1.82**.
Cost of grapefruit = $0.89
Cost of orange = $0.36
Total cost of grapefruit and orange = $0.89 + $0.36 = $1.25
Next, we will find out how much more the bag of potatoes cost than this total.
Cost of potatoes = $3.07
Now, we subtract the total cost of the grapefruit and orange from the cost of the potatoes:
$3.07 - $1.25 = $1.82
So, the potatoes cost $1.82 more than the grapefruit and the orange together.
The correct answer is **B. $1.82**.
