How much will the apples cost?

Tina and her friend are picking apples at Newberry Orchard. The apples cost $1.40 per pound. If they pick 2.5 pounds of apples, how much will the apples cost?

---

If the apples cost $1.40 per pound, and 2.5 pounds were purchased,
just multiply $1.40 by 2.5 to get the cost.

$1.40
x 2.5 lbs
————--
$3.50 total cost
