At the produce counter, 71⁄5 pounds of seedless grapes cost $12.89. how much would 3 pounds cost? a. $3.58 b. $5.16 c. $1.79 d. $5.37

D. $5.37

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to figure out how much grapes cost per pound

Change the mixed number to an improper fraction

7 1/5 = (5*7+1) /5 = 36/5

$12.89 / 36/5

Copy dot flip

12.89 * 5/36 = 1.79 per lb

If we are purchasing 3 pounds, we will multiply by 3

3 lbs * $1.79 / lb = $5.37

total amount to be paid = $19.5

step-by-step explanation:

given ,

original price = $25.99

discount = 25%

discount amount = 25% of original price

discount amount = 25/100   * 25.99

discount amount = $6.49

hence , the total amount to be paid = original price - discount amount

                                                            = $25.99 - $6.49

                                                            =$19.5

total amount to be paid = $19.5
