A dozen eggs
$2.29 $2.24
A pound of apples
$2.29/pound $2.45/pound

1. Write an expression to find the cost of 2 pounds of apples and 1 head of lettuce from grocery store #1.

Answer 1

To find the cost of 2 pounds of apples and 1 head of lettuce from grocery store #1 (Kroger), we can create the following expression:

Let:

• Cost of 1 head of lettuce = $1.79
• Cost of 1 pound of apples = $2.29

Now, the cost for 2 pounds of apples would be:

Cost of 2 pounds of apples = 2 * $2.29 = $4.58

Now, we add the cost of the head of lettuce:

Total cost = Cost of 2 pounds of apples + Cost of 1 head of lettuce Total cost = $4.58 + $1.79

So the expression to find the total cost is:

Total cost = 2 * $2.29 + $1.79

Answer 2

2. Write an expression to find the cost of 2 pounds of apples and 1 head of lettuce from grocery store #2.

Answer 3

To find the cost of 2 pounds of apples and 1 head of lettuce from grocery store #2 (Publix), we can create the following expression:

Let:

• Cost of 1 head of lettuce = $1.88
• Cost of 1 pound of apples = $2.45

Now, the cost for 2 pounds of apples would be:

Cost of 2 pounds of apples = 2 * $2.45 = $4.90

Now, we add the cost of the head of lettuce:

Total cost = Cost of 2 pounds of apples + Cost of 1 head of lettuce Total cost = $4.90 + $1.88

So the expression to find the total cost is:

Total cost = 2 * $2.45 + $1.88

Answer 4

3. If you have $20 to spend, can you buy 3 dozen eggs and a frozen pizza from either store? Which one(s)?

Answer 5

Let's calculate the total cost of purchasing 3 dozen eggs and a frozen pizza from both stores to determine if it's possible with $20.

From Grocery Store #1 (Kroger):

• Cost of a dozen eggs = $2.29
• Cost of 3 dozen eggs = 3 * $2.29 = $6.87
• Cost of frozen pizza = $8.49

Total cost at Kroger:

\[ \text{Total cost} = 6.87 + 8.49 = $15.36 \]

From Grocery Store #2 (Publix):

• Cost of a dozen eggs = $2.24
• Cost of 3 dozen eggs = 3 * $2.24 = $6.72
• Cost of frozen pizza = $9.24

Total cost at Publix:

\[ \text{Total cost} = 6.72 + 9.24 = $15.96 \]

Now, compare the total costs with the $20 budget:

• Total cost at Kroger = $15.36
• Total cost at Publix = $15.96

Since both totals are less than $20, you can buy 3 dozen eggs and a frozen pizza from both stores (Kroger and Publix).

Answer 6

simplify this

Answer 7

To determine if you can buy 3 dozen eggs and a frozen pizza from either store with $20, let's simplify the calculations.

From Grocery Store #1 (Kroger):

• Cost of 3 dozen eggs: \( 3 \times 2.29 = 6.87 \)
• Cost of frozen pizza: \( 8.49 \)

Total cost at Kroger: \[ 6.87 + 8.49 = 15.36 \]

From Grocery Store #2 (Publix):

• Cost of 3 dozen eggs: \( 3 \times 2.24 = 6.72 \)
• Cost of frozen pizza: \( 9.24 \)

Total cost at Publix: \[ 6.72 + 9.24 = 15.96 \]

Budget Comparison:

• Total cost at Kroger: $15.36
• Total cost at Publix: $15.96
• Budget: $20

Conclusion:

You can buy 3 dozen eggs and a frozen pizza from both Kroger and Publix since both totals are under the $20 budget.
