scott bought two items at daves fruit market. the cashier told him that he owed $5.49. why is the cashier incorrect? what did scott purchase?
DAVE'S FRUIT MARKET
grapes $2.25/bag
bananas $ 1.99/bag
strwberries $3.40/box
watermelon $5.00
The sum of any two items does not add up to $5.49.
Since the last digit in the total is 9, he must have purchased bananas and one of the last two.
To determine why the cashier is incorrect and what Scott purchased, we need to calculate the total price of the items Scott bought.
Based on the information given, here are the prices of the items available at Dave's Fruit Market:
- Grapes: $2.25 per bag
- Bananas: $1.99 per bag
- Strawberries: $3.40 per box
- Watermelon: $5.00
Since we don't know the quantities of each item that Scott purchased, we will assume that he only bought one unit of each item. Let's calculate the total cost of his purchase by adding up the prices of the individual items:
Grapes: $2.25
Bananas: $1.99
Strawberries: $3.40
Watermelon: $5.00
Total cost = $2.25 + $1.99 + $3.40 + $5.00 = $12.64
Therefore, the cashier is incorrect because the total cost of the items Scott purchased is $12.64, not $5.49.
Unfortunately, we cannot determine exactly what items Scott purchased without additional information about their quantities or specific items bought.
