First, we need to calculate the total weight of the pumpkins purchased by the baker:
Total weight = (6 x 3) + (8 x 5) + (9 x 1) + (10 x 7) + (12 x 4) + (13 x 2) + (14 x 1)
Total weight = 18 + 40 + 9 + 70 + 48 + 26 + 14
Total weight = 225 pounds
Next, we can calculate the total cost of the pumpkins:
Total cost = Total weight x $0.30
Total cost = 225 x $0.30
Total cost = $67.50
Since the baker is paying with a $100 bill, she will receive change:
Change = $100 - $67.50
Change = $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.
6 has three dots
8 has five dots
9 has one dot
10 has seven dots
12 has four dots
13 has two dots
14 has one dot
A baker purchases all of the pumpkins to make pies. If she uses a $100 bill to pay for the pumpkins, how much change will she receive?
