Answer:
$ 2.75 or 275 cents
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
Amount of potatoes that Gary can buy = 5.5 pounds
Rate of potatoes per pound = 50 cents
We have to find
How much money Gary have= x = ?
As we know
Total Amount Spent on potatoes = (Rate of potatoes per pound) (Amount of potatoes that Gary can buy)
x = (50) (5.5) = 275 cents
We can convert this amount in dollars by dividing it with 100 as 1 dollar contain 100 cents.
x = 275/100 = $ 2.75
So Gary has 275 cents or 2.75 dollars
