A chef buys 9 cucumbers, 18 peppers, and 21 tomatoes at the farmer's market. How much does she spend?
To find out how much the chef spends, we need to multiply the quantity of each item by their respective prices and then add the costs together.
Let's assume the price of each cucumber is $1, each pepper is $0.75, and each tomato is $0.50. To calculate the total cost, we multiply the quantity of each item by its price and then add them up.
The chef buys 9 cucumbers, so the cost of cucumbers is 9 multiplied by $1, which equals $9.
The chef buys 18 peppers, so the cost of peppers is 18 multiplied by $0.75, which equals $13.50.
The chef buys 21 tomatoes, so the cost of tomatoes is 21 multiplied by $0.50, which equals $10.50.
Lastly, to find the total cost, we add the costs of each type of vegetable together: $9 + $13.50 + $10.50 = $33.
Therefore, the chef spends $33 at the farmer's market.
no idea. How much does each item cost?
Figure that out, and then just multiply each item by its price, and add up those results.
Cucumbers 6 for $2
Peppers 12 for $9
