At the grocery store, Mr. Abroms saw eggplants that cost $1.79 each, apples that cost $0.59 each, bags of spinach that cost $2.55 each, and cartons of orange juice that cost $3.89 each. Which of these statements below are true? Choose the three correct answers.

Option 1, 3 and 5 are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Eggplants = $1.79 each

Apples = $0.59 each,

Bags of spinach = $2.55 each

Cartons of orange juice = $3.89 each

Required

Select three true statements

To do this, we'll check the options one after the other

1. 4 eggplants cost about $0.50 less than 3 bags  of spinach

First, we need to calculate the cost of 4 eggplants

4 Eggplants = 4 * 1 Eggplants

4 Eggplants = 4 * $1.79

4 Eggplants = $7.16

Next, we calculate the cost of 3 bags of Spinach

3 bags of Spinach = 3 * 1 bag of Spinach

3 bags of Spinach = 3 * $2.55

3 bags of Spinach = $7.65

Determine the difference

Difference = |Eggplants - Bags of Spinach|

Difference = |$7.16 - $7.65|

Difference = |-$0.49|

Difference = $0.49

This statement is true because $0.49 approximates to $0.50

2. Total cost of 4 apples and 2 eggplants $0.50 is more than $6.00

First, we need to calculate the cost of 4 apples

4 Apples = 4 * 1 Apples

4 Apples = 4 * $0.59

4 Apples = $2.36

Next, we calculate the cost of 2 Eggplants

2 Eggplants = 2 * 1 Eggplant

2 Eggplants = 2 * $1.79

2 Eggplants = $3.58

Add this two results together

Total = 4 Apples + 2 Eggplants

Total = $2.36 + $3.58

Total = $5.94

This statement is false because the sum is less than $6.00

3. Total cost of 4 eggplants, 4 apples and 1 carton of orange juice is $13.41

In (1) & (2) above

4 Eggplants = $7.16

4 Apples = $2.36

1 carton of orange juice = $3.89

Add the above together

Total = $7.16 + $2.36 + $3.89

Total = $13.41

This statement is true because the sum is $13.41

4. Total cost of 5 eggplants is greater than cost of 4 bags of spinach

First, we need to calculate the cost of 5 eggplants

5 Eggplants = 5 * 1 Eggplants

5 Eggplants = 5 * $1.79

5 Eggplants = $8.95

Next, we calculate the cost of 4 bags of Spinach

4 bags of Spinach = 4 * 1 bag of Spinach

4 bags of Spinach = 4 * $2.55

4 bags of Spinach = $10.20

This statement is false because 4 Eggplants costs less than $ bags of spinach

5. Total cost of 2 eggplants, 2 apples and 2 cartons of orange juice is $9.99 more than cost of 1 bag of spinach

From (2) above

2 Eggplants = $3.58

Next, we need to calculate the cost of 2 apples

2 Apples = 2 * 1 Apples

2 Apples = 2 * $0.59

2 Apples = $1.18

Next, we need to calculate the cost of 2 cartons of orange juice

2 Cartons = 2 * 1 Carton

2 Apples = 2 * $3.89

2 Apples = $7.78

Sum these up

Total = $3.58 + $1.18 + $7.78

Total = $12.54

1 Bag of spinach = $2.55 each

Subtract 1 Bag of spinach from the $12.54

Difference = $12.54 - $2.55

Difference = $9.99

This statement is true because the difference is $9.99

these sign is used to tell weather the number is greater or less than the number   <   or >     but this sign means its equal =
