A store sells apples for $1.25 each and oranges for $0.75 each. A customer buys 3 apples and 5 oranges. What is the total cost, in dollars, of the customer's purchase?
A. 6.25
B. 7.50
C. 8.75
D. 9.25

Correct Answer is: D

The cost of the apples is 3 * $1.25 = $3.75. The cost of the oranges is 5 * $0.75 = $3.75. The total cost is $3.75 + $3.75 = $7.50.
