Question: Ted needs to purchase 5 bananas and 10 oranges.  If bananas cost $2 each and oranges cost $1.50 each.  How much money does Ted need to purchase 5 bananas and 10 oranges?
Solution:
Ted needs 5 bananas and they each cost $2. To purchase the bananas, Ted needs 5*2= 10 dollars
Because Ted needs 10 oranges and they each cost $1.50, Ted needs 10*1.5= 15 dollars to pay for the oranges.
All together Ted needs $10 for the bananas and $15 for the oranges, so combined Ted needs 10+15= 25 dollars to purchase all the produce.
Answer: 25
