Answer:
Her grocery bill was $4.62.
Step-by-step explanation:
There is some mistake in question so the correct question is:
Sherry bought 6 apples at 43¢ per apple. She then bought 4 oranges at 51¢ per orange. How much was her grocery bill?
Now, to find the grocery bill.
As the units are given:
43¢ per apple and
51¢ per orange.
$1 = 100¢.
So, the cost of 6 apples = [tex]0.43\times 6=2.58[/tex]
Thus, the cost of 6 apples = $2.58
And the cost of 4 oranges = [tex]0.51\times 4=2.04[/tex]
Thus the cost of 4 oranges = $2.04
Now, to get the total grocery bill we add the cost of apples and oranges:
[tex]\$2.58+\$2.04[/tex]
[tex]=\$4.62[/tex]
Therefore, her grocery bill was $4.62.
