Answer:

Keisha paid $7.0805

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, you already know that 1 pound equals $5.95. Secondly, you have to solve 5.95 divided by 10, which is 0.595. However, the question is asking for 0.2 pounds! Therefore, 0.595 * 2 = 1.19.

But we're not done yet! We still have to find the amount of money in all. 5.95 * 1.19 = 7.0805 The sum of money in all is $7.0805

Hope this helps!

Answer:

multiply

Step-by-step explanation:

pounds times $ per pound gives an answer in $

Logic tells you if she buys more than a pound she will pay more total than the one pound price, so 1.2 x 5.95 = $7.14

In dollar problems, some teachers will mark points off if you don't round to the nearest cent because we don't use anything smaller than a penny.
