Chapter 1.4, Problem 3P

To determine

To find: the total cost of four oranges, three cucumbers, and one lettuce.

Answer to Problem 3P

The total cost $=\$7.50$ , option $(B)$ is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Buy one get one, orange $=\$1.00$ , three cucumbers $=\$1.00$ , one lettuce $=\$2.50$

Calculations:

If we buy two ranges, then we get four oranges due to buy one get one offer.

Cost of four oranges $=2(1)=\$2.00$

Cost of three cucumbers $=3(1)=\$3.00$

Cost of one lettuce $=\$2.50$

Then, the total cost

  $\begin{array}{l}=2+3+2.50\\ =\$7.50\end{array}$

Hence,

The total cost $=\$7.50$ option $(B)$ is correct.
