A farmer's market is selling peaches for $2.00 a pound. If you buy 2 pounds, you save 10% on each pound. How much does it cost to get 2 pounds of peaches
it will cost $3.60
oh thanks, can you explain the problem?
10% of $2.00 is $0.20. If you save 20 cents on each pound, and you get 2 pounds, you will save 40 cents. 2 pounds would originally be $4.00, but it'll be $3.60 after you subtract the 40 cents.
Ah
Thank you very much!

To calculate the cost of getting 2 pounds of peaches, we first need to find the original cost per pound. Since the peaches are priced at $2.00 per pound and there is a 10% savings on each pound, we can calculate the original cost using the given information.
1. Calculate the savings per pound:
- 10% of $2.00 = 0.10 x $2.00 = $0.20
2. Subtract the savings per pound from the original price per pound to find the price after the discount:
- $2.00 - $0.20 = $1.80
3. Multiply the price after the discount by the number of pounds desired:
- $1.80 x 2 = $3.60
Therefore, it would cost $3.60 to get 2 pounds of peaches from the farmer's market.
