Last week, the price of apples at a grocery store was $1.60 per pound. This week, apples at the same grocery store are on sale at a 10% discount. What is the total price of 4 1/2 pounds of apples this week at the grocery store?

£6.48

Step-by-step explanation:

1.6 after 10% discount = 1.44

For 4 1/2 pounds it is 1.44 x 4 1/2 =

6.48

$6.48

Step-by-step explanation:

1.60 * 0.1 = $0.16 (the discount)

1.60 - 0.16 = $1.44 (price after discount was applied)

1.44 * 4.5
