Question

Elisha has 35lb of tomatoes to sell she needs to receive at least 50$ how much should she sell hem per pound

Answer 1

Elisha need to sell them for at least 1.43$ a pound

Explanation:

So if she needs to make 50$ dollars from 35lbs of tomatoes then the easiest way to solve this would to just divide 50 by 35 and you get 1.428571429 but since USD currency only goes up to the 100th decimal space you need to round up to the nearest hundredth, so to round 1.428 you see that the 8 is over 5 so you raise the 2 to 3 and get 1.43. so she needs to sell the tomatoes for at least 1.43$ a pound (lb)
