Answer 1

2.30 x 1 = 2.30 for the hamburger rolls
3.38 x 3 = 10.14 for the hamburger meat
.79 x 5 = 3.95 for the sweet potatoes

3.95 + 2.30 + 10.14 = 16.39$ is her total.

To further explain this, and/or to find answers to similar problems like this, you take the amount per pound or whatever unit of measurement (let’s say this variable is Z) and then you take the amount that they are getting per said unit ( let’s say Y) thus an equation that can be used to find problems like this is Z x Y.

Answer 2

The total amount of money paid by Anna is $\fbox{\bf \ 16.39}$.

Further explanation:

Given:

Anna buys 3 pounds of hamburger meat.

Anna buys 5 sweet potatoes.

Anna buys 1 bag of hamburger rolls.

The cost of hamburger meat is $3.38 per pound.

The cost of 1 sweet potato is $0.79.

The cost of 1 bag hamburger is $2.30.

Procedure:

1. First find the money spent on hamburger meat, sweet potatoes, and hamburger rolls.

2. Now add all the money to obtain the total money spent on the groceries.

Calculation:

The money spend by Anna on the hamburger meat is obtained as follows:

$\boxed{3.38\times3=\ 10.14}$

The money spend by Anna on the sweet potato is obtained as follows:

$\boxed{0.79\times5=\ 3.95}$

The money spend by Anna on the hamburger roll is obtained as follows:

$\boxed{2.30\times1=\ 2.30}$

Total money spent by Anna to buy all the groceries can be obtained by the sum of the amount of money spent on all the groceries.

Therefore the total money paid by Anna is obtained as,

\boxed{\$ \left( {10.14 + 3.95 + 2.30} \right) = \$ 16.39}.

Thus, the total amount of money paid by Anna is $\fbox{\bf \ 16.39}$.
