If one apple costs $1.00 and you buy 10 apples, how much do you spend?

  1. $10.00

  2. $9.00

  3. $11.00

  4. $12.00

The correct answer is: $10.00

When calculating the total cost of purchasing multiple items, the cost per item is multiplied by the number of items purchased. In this case, the cost of one apple is $1.00, and you are buying 10 apples. To find the total cost, you simply multiply $1.00 by 10, which results in $10.00. This arithmetic demonstrates the straightforward approach to budgeting for a set number of identical items, affirming that option A is accurate.
