D. $5.10
i think its D
Disagree. See previous post.
To calculate the total cost of the blueberries, we need to determine the cost of the blueberries picked at the patch and the cost of the prepackaged blueberries separately, then add them together.
First, let's calculate the cost of the blueberries picked at the patch:
The pricing states that the cost is $3.00 per pound.
The family picks 1.7 pounds, so the cost of the blueberries picked at the patch would be 1.7 pounds multiplied by $3.00 per pound, which equals $5.10.
Next, let's calculate the cost of the prepackaged blueberries:
The prepackaged blueberries cost $3.50 per pound.
The family purchases 0.5 pounds, so the cost of the prepackaged blueberries would be 0.5 pounds multiplied by $3.50 per pound, which equals $1.75.
Finally, we can calculate the total cost by adding the cost of the blueberries picked at the patch to the cost of the prepackaged blueberries:
$5.10 + $1.75 = $6.85
Therefore, the correct option is C. $6.85.
