Oranges are 2 pounds for $1.00. Apples are $2.00 per pound. Chris bought 5 pounds of oranges and 3 pounds of apples. How much did Chris pay for all the fruits

Answer 1

Oranges = 2lbs for $1 = $.50 per 1lb

Apples= 1lb for $2

Therefore,

5lbs Oranges= $1 + $1 + $.50= $2.50

3lbs apples= $2 + $2 +$2= $6

total= $2.50 + $6= $8.50
