Answer:
$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
