Question

16. A farmer had 385.60 lb of tomatoes. She sold half of them at $1.15 per pound. How much money did she receive?

Answer 1

Explanation:

385.60 / 2 = 192.8

since 1lb = 1 pound

192.8 × 1.15 = $221.72

Answer 2

she received $221.72. If you divide 385.60 in half, because she sold half, you get 192.8. You then multiply that number by 1.15. There you have your answer.
