Given:
2 ½ lb of licorice ropes at $2.48 per pound.
3 lb of gumballs at $2.68
Find how much did Anthony spend all in all.
Solution:
Multiply 2 ½ lb of licorice ropes by $2.48 in order to get the total amount spent on licorice ropes.
= (2.5)($2.48)
= $6.2
Add the amount spent on licorice rope to the amount spent on gumballs.
= $6.2 + $2.68
=$8.88
Anthony spent $8.88 all in all.
