11.8 × .40 = $4.72

6.48 + 4.72 = $11.20

Answer: There are 2 batteries which he can buy with his earnings .

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Selling price of cans at the recycling center = $0.40 per pound

Number of pounds of cans he sold on Monday = 16.2

Number of pounds of cans he sold on Tuesday = 11.8

Total earning of Samuel is given by

[tex](16.2+11.8)\times 0.40=\$11.2[/tex]

Now, cost of battery =$5.60

So, number of batteries he can buy is given by

[tex]\frac{\text{ Total earnings}}{\text{ Cost of each battery}}\\\\=\frac{11.2}{5.6}\\\\=2[/tex]

So, there are 2 batteries which he can buy with his earnings .
