Answer:
$2.8
Explanation:
Data provide in the question:
Selling price of the raisins = $3.50 per pound
Weight of the mixture = 2 pounds
Percentage of raisins in the mixture = 40%
thus,
the weight of raisins present in the mixture
= Percentage of raisins × Total weight of the mixture
= 0.4 × 2
= 0.8 pounds
Therefore,
the amount paid for the raisins = weight of raisins in mixture × price of raisin
or
The amount paid for raisins = 0.8 × $3.50 = $2.8
