Amount of green grapes bought = [tex]1\frac{2}{5}=\frac{7}{5}[/tex] pounds
Amount of red grapes = [tex]2\frac{3}{10}=\frac{23}{10}[/tex] pounds
Let us assume that both the grapes have same price per pound.
Total quantity of grapes = [tex]\frac{7}{5}+\frac{23}{10}[/tex]
=[tex]\frac{14+23}{10}=\frac{37}{10}[/tex] = 3.7 pounds
Price of 1 pound of grapes = $2.99
So price of 3.7 pounds = [tex]2.99\times3.7[/tex] =11.063
Price is $11.063
Hence, Lexi spent less than $12.
Answer:
Less.
Step-by-step explanation: If you multiple 1 2/5 by $2.99 you would get about $4.19. If you multiple 2 3/10 by $2.99 you would get about $6.88. If you add those together, you would get $11.07, which is less than $12.
