The total weight of the pumpkins is:
6 pounds for 3 dots = 18 pounds
8 pounds for 5 dots = 40 pounds
9 pounds for 1 dot = 9 pounds
10 pounds for 7 dots = 70 pounds
12 pounds for 4 dots = 48 pounds
13 pounds for 2 dots = 26 pounds
14 pounds for 1 dot = 14 pounds
Adding all the weights together:
18 + 40 + 9 + 70 + 48 + 26 + 14 = 225 pounds
The total cost of the pumpkins is:
225 pounds x $0.30/pound = $67.50
Since the baker uses a $100 bill to pay for the pumpkins, she will receive:
$100 - $67.50 = $32.50
Therefore, the baker will receive $32.50 in change.
The line plot shows the weights of pumpkins available at a farm stand. The pumpkins cost $0.30 per pound.
A line plot named “Pumpkin Weights” shows data from 6 to 14 pounds in intervals of 1 pound. 6 has 3 dots. 8 has 5 dots. 9 has 1 dot. 10 has 7 dots. 12 has 4 dots. 13 has 2 dots. 14 has 1 dot.
