Question #N906
A store is selling apples for $1.50 per pound and oranges for $2.25 per pound. If a customer buys 3 pounds of apples and 2 pounds of oranges, how much will the customer spend in total?
A. $5.25
B. $6.75
C. $7.50
D. $9.00
Correct Answer is: D
The cost of the apples is 3 pounds * $1.50/pound = $4.50. The cost of the oranges is 2 pounds * $2.25/pound = $4.50. The total cost is $4.50 + $4.50 = $9.00.
