Question

You decide to test out charging by the pound. To test this, you will round the amount of grapes to the nearest pound and then charge $4.00 per pound of grapes.

If a customer wants to buy 5.476 pounds of grapes, how much will they be charged if you round to the nearest pound?

Answer 1

5.476 rounds to 5 pounds. At $4.00 per pound, the charge is 5 × $4.00 = $20.00.
