Spaghetti cost 99 cent a poud. A jar of sauce cost $2.59 and bread is 2 loaves for $1.39. How much would 2 pounds of speghetti 2 jars of sauce and 3 loave of bread cost to the nearest dollar?
1.39 for bread divided by 2 is about .70 for each loaf
so.... (.7)(3) + 2(.99) + 2(2.59) = $9.26 ..... to if you round down, it's about $9.00 which is a lower estimate, and $10 for the upper
Hope this helps..
To calculate the cost of 2 pounds of spaghetti, 2 jars of sauce, and 3 loaves of bread, you need to multiply the price of each item by the quantity needed.
The cost of spaghetti is $0.99 per pound, so for 2 pounds, it would be 2 * $0.99 = $1.98.
The cost of a jar of sauce is $2.59, so for 2 jars, it would be 2 * $2.59 = $5.18.
The cost of bread is 2 loaves for $1.39, so for 3 loaves, it would be (3/2) * $1.39 = $2.09.
Adding up the costs of each item, you have $1.98 + $5.18 + $2.09 = $9.25.
To round this amount to the nearest dollar, you can either round it down to $9 or round it up to $10.
So, the cost of 2 pounds of spaghetti, 2 jars of sauce, and 3 loaves of bread would be approximately $9 or $10.
