Please help, what operation should I use to solve this problem? Jessica bought 10.50 pounds of potatoes. The potatoes are sold in sacks of 20 if the potatoes cost $1.99 per pound. How much money did Jessica spend?

10.5 x 1.99 =

Simple multiplication
Which gives you 20.895 and you round up to 21.00, but if you want to get 20 don't round of course.
Lauren -- The question asks how much money did she spend. Your answer is not correct.

20.895 = $20.90
