Question

Liza bought 23 kg sugar from a grocery store. How much money did she spend?

• A. $\$34.04$
• B. $\$23.51$
• C. $\$42.15$
• D. $\$25.40$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\$34.04$

The sugar cost $\$1.48$ per kg.

To find total amount of money paid to buy 23 kg sugar, we need to multiply 1.48 by 23.

First, let's multiply 148 with 23.


In $1.48$, the decimal point is to the left of the last two digits. Hence, the decimal point in the multiplication should also be to the left of the last two digits, i.e., $34.04$.

$\therefore \$1.48\times 23\text{kg}=\$34.04$
