Maddox is buying dried fruit for his hiking trip. The table shows the cost of different types of dried fruit.
Dried Fruit Cost per Pound ($)
Apricots 2.98
Bananas 2.30
Cranberries 2.84
Pineapples 3.08
He bought 0.6 pound of bananas and 1.5 pounds of cranberries. If Maddox gave the cashier $10, how much change will he receive?
The total cost of bananas is 2.30 * 0.6 = $<<2.30*0.6=1.38>>1.38
The total cost of cranberries is 2.84 * 1.5 = $<<2.84*1.5=4.26>>4.26
The total cost of the dried fruit is 1.38 + 4.26 + 2.98 + 3.08 = $<<1.38+4.26+2.98+3.08=11.7>>11.7
Maddox will receive 10 - 11.7 = $<<10-11.7=-1.7>>-1.7 change. Answer: \boxed{-1.7}.
To find out the total cost of the bananas and cranberries, we need to multiply the cost per pound by the number of pounds purchased.
For bananas:
Cost of bananas = 2.30 * 0.6 = $1.38
For cranberries:
Cost of cranberries = 2.84 * 1.5 = $4.26
Now, we can add the costs of bananas and cranberries to find the total cost:
Total cost = Cost of bananas + Cost of cranberries
Total cost = $1.38 + $4.26
Total cost = $5.64
Maddox gave the cashier $10. To find out how much change he will receive, we need to subtract the total cost from the amount he gave:
Change = Amount given - Total cost
Change = $10 - $5.64
Change = $4.36
Therefore, Maddox will receive $4.36 in change.
To find out how much change Maddox will receive, we need to calculate the total cost of the dried fruit he bought and subtract it from the $10 he gave the cashier.
First, let's calculate the cost of the bananas Maddox bought. The cost per pound of bananas is $2.30 and he bought 0.6 pounds. Multiplying these two numbers will give us the cost of the bananas.
Cost of bananas = $2.30/pound * 0.6 pounds = $1.38
Next, let's calculate the cost of the cranberries that Maddox bought. The cost per pound of cranberries is $2.84 and he bought 1.5 pounds.
Cost of cranberries = $2.84/pound * 1.5 pounds = $4.26
Now, let's calculate the total cost of the dried fruit Maddox bought by adding the cost of bananas and cranberries.
Total cost = Cost of bananas + Cost of cranberries
= $1.38 + $4.26
= $5.64
Finally, we can calculate the change Maddox will receive by subtracting the total cost of the dried fruit from the $10 he gave the cashier.
Change = $10 - Total cost
= $10 - $5.64
= $4.36
Therefore, Maddox will receive $4.36 in change.
