At Andrews sweet shop almond fudge costs $5.23 per pound, and vanilla fudge costs $4.17 per pound. Allison buys 0.75 pound of almond fudge and 1.25 pounds of vanilla fudge. About how much will Allison pay altogether (excluding tax)?

Add the two products together.
I'll be glad to check your answer.
To find out how much Allison will pay altogether for the almond fudge and vanilla fudge, we need to calculate the individual costs for each type of fudge and then add them together.
First, let's calculate the cost of the almond fudge:
Almond fudge costs $5.23 per pound, and Allison buys 0.75 pounds. To get the cost, we multiply the price per pound ($5.23) by the weight (0.75):
Almond fudge cost = $5.23/pound * 0.75 pounds
Next, let's calculate the cost of the vanilla fudge:
Vanilla fudge costs $4.17 per pound, and Allison buys 1.25 pounds. To get the cost, we multiply the price per pound ($4.17) by the weight (1.25):
Vanilla fudge cost = $4.17/pound * 1.25 pounds
Now we can add the costs of almond fudge and vanilla fudge to find the total cost:
Total cost = Almond fudge cost + Vanilla fudge cost
Let's substitute the values and calculate the total cost:
