To find out how much Charlotte will pay for the watermelons, we need to calculate the total weight of the three watermelons and then multiply it by the cost per pound.
Total weight = 19 pounds + 15.2 pounds + 13.7 pounds = 48.9 pounds (rounded to the nearest tenth)
Now we multiply the total weight by the cost per pound:
Total cost = 48.9 pounds * $0.46/pound = $22.49 (rounded to the nearest cent)
Therefore, Charlotte will pay $22.49 for the watermelons.
To calculate the cost of the watermelons, we need to find the total weight of all three watermelons and multiply it by the price per pound.
First, let's find the total weight of the three watermelons by adding their weights together:
19 pounds + 15.2 pounds + 13.7 pounds = 47.9 pounds
Now, let's calculate the cost by multiplying the total weight by the price per pound:
47.9 pounds × $0.46/pound = $22.034
Rounding this to the nearest cent, Charlotte will pay $22.03 for the watermelons.
