A store sells 214 pounds of tomatoes in a package for $4.45 . The expression 4.45p represents the cost of the tomatoes for a number of packages

The given expression is 4.45* p

4.45*p gives the cost of the tomatoes.

one package costs $4.45

'p' packages costs $4.45 * p

So the variable 'p' represents the number of packages.
