Respuesta :

Answer:

5.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 2.75 by $0.76 to get $2.09

Multiply 2.75 by $1.40 to get $3.85

Add $3.85 and $2.09 to get $5.94

The money in dollars  is 5.94 and cents 594 did Charlie pay for the pears and grapes

We have given that,

2.75 pound of pears cost $ 0.76

Therefore,

2.75×0.76=2.09.....(1)

$2.75 pound of grapes cost $1.40

Then the cost of grapes is

2.75× 1.40=$3.85..........(2)

add value of equation 1 and equation 2 we will get

2.09+3.85=$5.94

So the charlie has to pay 5.94 in dollar

Next we have to find in cents

What is the value of 1 dollar in cents?

[tex]$1=100[/tex]cent

multiply both side by  5.94

[tex]$1* 5.94=100 * 5.94[/tex]

[tex]5.94 dollars=594 cents[/tex]

Therefore,

The money in dollars  is 5.94 and cents 594 did Charlie pay for the pears and grapes.
