Item 11 You buy 2.6 pounds of apples and 1.475 pounds of peaches. You hand the cashier a $20 bill. How much change will you receive? You will receive $ change.

$14.90625

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the conversion rate

$1 = 0.8 pounds

If you buy 2.6 pounds of apples and 1.475 pounds of peaches, the total cost of apple and peaches is expressed as:

= 2.6 pounds + 1.475 pounds

= 4.075 pounds

Convert to dollars

$1 = 0.8 pounds

$x = 4.075 pounds

cross multiply

0.8x = 4.075

x = 4.075/0.8

x = $5.09375

This means that the cost of the apple and peaches is $5.09375.

If you hand the cashier a $20 bill, the change that you will receive will be: $20 - $5.09375 = $14.90625
