What is the difference in cost between 0.5 kilograms of red grapes at $4.50 per kilogram and 0.5 kilograms of green grapes at $3.00 per kilogram?
-
$0.55
-
$0.75
-
$1.50

The difference in cost between 0.5 kilograms of red grapes at $4.50 per kilogram and 0.5 kilograms of green grapes at $3.00 per kilogram is $0.75. To calculate the cost difference, we can subtract the cost of the green grapes from the cost of the red grapes. $4.50 - $3.00 = $1.50. Since we are comparing 0.5 kilograms of each, we divide the result by 2. $1.50 / 2 = $0.75. Therefore, the correct answer is $0.75.Rate this question:

A student buys 4 files at 99¢ each and 2 pads of file paper at $1.20 each. How much change will he receive from $10.00?
-
$3.64
-
$4.64
-
$4.84
-
$6.36
Correct Answer
A. $3.64Explanation
The student buys 4 files at $0.99 each, so the total cost of the files is 4 * $0.99 = $3.96. The student also buys 2 pads of file paper at $1.20 each, so the total cost of the pads is 2 * $1.20 = $2.40. The total cost of the files and pads is $3.96 + $2.40 = $6.36. The student gives $10.00, so the change he will receive is $10.00 - $6.36 = $3.64.Rate this question:
