buy bananas. Each pound of bananas costs \( \$ 0.75 \). Jesse has a coupon for \( \$ 0.10 \) off a pound of bananas. If Jesse buys 1 pound of bananas and a container of orange juice for \( \$ 2.49 \), what is the total cost of his purchase

Jesse's total cost starts with the price of the bananas at \( \$ 0.75 \). With the \( \$ 0.10 \) coupon, he will pay \( \$ 0.75 - \$ 0.10 = \$ 0.65 \) for the bananas. Adding the cost of the orange juice, which is \( \$ 2.49 \), the total cost of his purchase is \( \$ 0.65 + \$ 2.49 = \$ 3.14 \). So, Jesse's total cost for his delicious fruit and refreshing juice is \( \$ 3.14 \). Isn't budgeting while shopping a fun little math challenge? You can easily keep track of expenses and enjoy healthy snacks while saving!
