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? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
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. So, the answer is 25.
