A 2.49×6+6.98=21.922 point 4 9 times 6 plus 6 point 9 8 is equal to 21 point 9 2
B 6(2.49+6.98)=56.826 times open paren 2 point 4 9 plus 6 point 9 8 close paren is equal to 56 point 8 2
C 2.49+6.98=9.472 point 4 9 plus 6 point 9 8 is equal to 9 point 4 7
D 6(2.49)+2(6.98)=28.90
The correct answer is D.
To find the total purchase amount, we multiply the cost per bag by the number of bags purchased and then add them together.
For the 6 bags purchased at $2.49 each, the total cost is 6(2.49) = $14.94.
For the 2 bags purchased at $6.89 each, the total cost is 2(6.89) = $13.78.
Adding these two costs together, we get $14.94 + $13.78 = $28.72.
So Chase's total purchase amount is $28.72.
