Do her favorite apples cost $3.50 for a pound?

To find out how much Margaret spent on her favorite apples, we need to multiply the cost per pound by the number of pounds she bought.

First, we need to determine the total cost per pound by dividing the total cost by the total weight. In this case, the cost is $3.50 and the weight is 2.6 pounds:

Cost per pound = $3.50 / 2.6 pounds ≈ $1.35 (rounded to two decimal places).

Now, we can calculate the total spending by multiplying the cost per pound by the number of pounds:

Total spending = $1.35/pound * 2.6 pounds = $3.51 (rounded to two decimal places).

Therefore, Margaret spent approximately $3.51 on her favorite apples.
