Answer the following questions: Write an expression to find the cost of 2 pounds of apples and 1 head of lettuce from grocery store #1.
To find the cost of 2 pounds of apples and 1 head of lettuce from grocery store #1 (Walmart), you can use the following expression:
Cost of 2 pounds of apples + Cost of 1 head of lettuce
Using the prices from the table:
$1.49 (Cost of a pound of apples) * 2 (Number of pounds of apples) + $1.29 (Cost of a head of lettuce) = $2.98 + $1.29 = $4.27
Therefore, the cost of 2 pounds of apples and 1 head of lettuce from grocery store #1 (Walmart) is $4.27.

Sure! To find out how much 2 pounds of apples and 1 head of lettuce cost at Walmart, you just gotta add the prices together. So, it's like $1.49 for a pound of apples, and since you want 2 pounds, you multiply it by 2. That's $1.49 * 2 = $2.98. Then, you add the price of 1 head of lettuce, which is $1.29. So, $2.98 + $1.29 = $4.27. That's how much it costs for 2 pounds of apples and 1 head of lettuce from Walmart.
Write an expression to find the cost of 2 pounds of apples and 1 head of lettuce from grocery store #2.
To find the cost of 2 pounds of apples and 1 head of lettuce from grocery store #2 (Safeway), you can use the following expression:
Cost of 2 pounds of apples + Cost of 1 head of lettuce
Using the prices from the table:
$1.99 (Cost of a pound of apples) * 2 (Number of pounds of apples) + $1.79 (Cost of a head of lettuce) = $3.98 + $1.79 = $5.77
Therefore, the cost of 2 pounds of apples and 1 head of lettuce from grocery store #2 (Safeway) is $5.77.
If you have $20 to spend, can you buy 3 dozen eggs and a frozen pizza from either store? Which one(s)?
To determine if you can buy 3 dozen eggs and a frozen pizza from either store (Walmart or Safeway) with $20, we need to calculate the total cost of these items.
First, let's calculate the cost of 3 dozen eggs:
Cost of a dozen eggs * Number of dozens of eggs
For Walmart: $1.59 (Cost of a dozen eggs at Walmart) * 3 (Number of dozens of eggs) = $4.77
For Safeway: $1.99 (Cost of a dozen eggs at Safeway) * 3 (Number of dozens of eggs) = $5.97
Next, let's calculate the cost of a frozen pizza:
For Walmart: $3.99
For Safeway: $4.49
Now, let's add the cost of 3 dozen eggs and a frozen pizza for both stores:
For Walmart: $4.77 (Cost of 3 dozen eggs) + $3.99 (Cost of frozen pizza) = $8.76
For Safeway: $5.97 (Cost of 3 dozen eggs) + $4.49 (Cost of frozen pizza) = $10.46
Since the total cost of these items exceeds $20 at both stores, you cannot buy 3 dozen eggs and a frozen pizza with $20 from either store.
