Answer 1

To determine from which stores Nani can buy 8 cups of fresh pineapple with her budget of $4, we need to calculate the total cost of 8 cups for each store based on the prices provided.

1. Store A: \( 0.49 \times 8 = 3.92 \)

2. Store B: \( 0.51 \times 8 = 4.08 \)

3. Store C: \( 0.55 \times 8 = 4.40 \)

4. Store D: \( 0.48 \times 8 = 3.84 \)

5. Store E: \( 0.45 \times 8 = 3.60 \)

Now, we can see which stores are within Nani’s $4 budget:

• Store A: $3.92 (within budget)
• Store B: $4.08 (exceeds budget)
• Store C: $4.40 (exceeds budget)
• Store D: $3.84 (within budget)
• Store E: $3.60 (within budget)

Therefore, Nani can purchase from the following stores:

• Store A
• Store D
• Store E

The three that apply from your options are:

• Store A
• Store D
• Store E
