Marla buys 6 bananas at $0.22 each and 4 oranges at $0.49 each. What is the total cost of the fruit?

1. Multiply the cost of one banana by the number of bananas: 6 x 0.22 = 1.32. 2. Multiply the cost of one orange by the number of oranges: 4 x 0.49 = 1.96. 3. Add the two amounts together: 1.32 + 1.96. 4. This gives 3.28, so the total cost of the fruit is $3.28. _Source: OpenStax Prealgebra (CC BY 4.0), Ch 5 "Decimals", section 5.2 Decimal Operations_
