Alan went to the store and bought 2 1/2 pounds of bananas and 4 1/2 pounds of peaches. How much did she spend.

Show steps if u can plz! It’s for a quiz

Alan spent $7.24 in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 1/2 pounds of bananas is equal to 2.5 pounds of bananas  (decimal)

2.5 (pounds of bananas) x 1.06 (unit cost for 1 pound of bananas) = $2.65

4 1/2 pounds of peaches is equal to 4.5 pounds of peaches  (decimal)

4.5 (pounds of peaches) x 1.02 (unit cost for 1 pound of peaches) = $4.59

4.59 + 2.65 = $7.24 spent in total
