Jamaar loves fresh fruit and is headed to the store with 10 he earned mowing lawns. Including tax, peaches and pears are.5 each, apples are .75 each, kiwis are 1, and plums cost .25 each. If he has already purchased 3 peaches, 4 pears, 2 kiwis, and 5 apples, how many plums can he buy?

Answer: Jamaar can buy 10 plums.

Step-by-step solution

First, we need to determine the total cost of the peaches Jamaar has already purchased. Multiply the number of peaches by the price of each peach.

Next, calculate the total cost of the pears using the same method: multiply the number of pears by their individual price.

Then, find the total cost for the kiwis by multiplying the number of kiwis by their price.

Similarly, calculate the total cost for the apples by multiplying the number of apples by their price.

Now, sum up the individual costs of all the purchased fruits to find the total amount Jamaar has already spent.

Subtract the total amount spent from the initial amount of money Jamaar had to determine how much money he has left for plums.

Finally, divide the remaining money by the price of one plum to find out how many plums Jamaar can buy.
