Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total weight of aluminum cans that Pete collected for recycling is 47 pounds.
Total weight of aluminum cans that Jo collected for recycling is 52 pounds.
They can get $0.21 per pound for the cans. Therefore,
The total amount that Pete will get for collecting 47 pounds of aluminum would be
0.21 × 47 = $9.87
The total amount that Jo will get for collecting 52 pounds of aluminum would be
0.21 × 52 = $10.92
The total amount of money that they would get is
9.87 + 10.92 = $20.79
