Answer 1

a. One combination that satisfies the condition would be 7 pounds of zucchini and 3 pounds of broccoli. Since: 7*(1.5) + 3*2= 16.5. The sum of pounds is 10 and the price is different from 17.

b. One combination that satisfies the condition would be 10 pounds of zucchini and 1 pound of broccoli.

Since: 10*(1.5) + 1*2= 17. The sum of pounds is different from 10 and the price is equal to 17.

c. The combination that satisfies the condition would be 6 pounds of zucchini and 4 pounds of broccoli.

Since: 6*(1.5) + 4*2= 17. The sum of pounds is equal to 10 and the price is equal to 17.
