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

First, let's find the discount.

1.60 * 0.1 = $0.16 (the discount)

Second, subtract the discount to the original price.

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

Third, multiply to 4 1/2 to find how much it will cost.

1.44 * 4.5 = $6.48 (price of 4 1/2 pounds of apples with discount applied)

Best of Luck!

The total price of 4.5 apples this week at the grocery store is $6.48‬

Given the following data:

  • Price of apples per pound = $1.60
  • Discount = 10%
  • Quantity of apples = [tex]4\frac{1}{2} \;pounds[/tex]

To calculate the total price of 4.5 apples this week at the grocery store:

How to calculate discount.

Since the grocery store had a discount of 10%, this discount would be substracted from the cost price of the apples, in order to find the total price of 4.5 apples. Also, the total price would be multiplied by number of apples.

For the discount price:

[tex]Discount\;price = \frac{10}{100} \times 1.60\\ \\ Discount\;price = 0.1 \times 1.60[/tex]

Discount price = $0.16

For the selling price:

[tex]Selling \;price = 1.60-0.16[/tex]

Selling price = $1.44

Now, we can calculate the total price of 4.5 apples:

[tex]Total\;price = 1.44 \times 4.5[/tex]

Total price = $6.48‬
