You are also making a fruit salad. You have already selected apples, oranges, kiwi, strawberries, and blueberries which total $17.28, you still need to purchase bananas.
The bananas cost $0.44 per pound. You choose three bunches that weigh 3/4lb, 11/3lb, and 15/8lb. Determine the cost for all of the fruit.
3/4 = 18/24
11/3 = 88/24
15/8 = 45/24
18/24 + 88/24 + 45/24 = 151/24 = 6 7/24 = 6.29167
6.29167 * 0.44 = 2.77
2.77 + 17.28 = ?
To determine the cost for all of the fruit, we will first calculate the cost of the bananas, then add it to the total cost of the other fruits.
Let's start by calculating the cost of each bunch of bananas. We have three bunches with weights of 3/4lb, 11/3lb, and 15/8lb.
For the first bunch weighing 3/4lb, the cost would be (3/4)lb * $0.44/lb = $0.33.
For the second bunch weighing 11/3lb, the cost would be (11/3)lb * $0.44/lb = $1.61.
For the third bunch weighing 15/8lb, the cost would be (15/8)lb * $0.44/lb = $0.82.
Now let's add up all the costs. We already know that the total cost for the other fruits is $17.28.
The total cost for the bananas would be $0.33 + $1.61 + $0.82 = $2.76.
Finally, we can determine the total cost for all of the fruit by adding the cost of the bananas to the total cost of the other fruits.
Total cost = Cost of other fruits + Cost of bananas
Total cost = $17.28 + $2.76 = $20.04.
Therefore, the cost for all of the fruit, including bananas, is $20.04.
