Hi there! Bananas are sold at $0.80 per pound and grapes are sold at $2.50 per pound. To find out how much Mrs. Anderson spent overall, we need to find out how much she spent with each item and then add them up together. She bought 4.3 pounds of bananas and 2.1 pounds of grapes. Let's multiply each of them by the unit prices there are. 4.3 * 0.8 is 3.44 and 2.1 * 2.5 is 5.25. 3.44 + 5.25 is 8.69. There. Mrs. Anderson spent a total of $8.69.

The first one, i believe, would be correct. all the others have one thing in common, and that's that they have repeating numbers. in the second one, x and y have repeating 6's and 3's, and in the third, x and y have repeating 6's as well. in the last one, there are repeating 3's. the first one has no repeating numbers.
