Question

Leyan bought 234 pounds of apples for $1.32 per pound, 112 pounds of peaches for $1.20 per pound, and some tomatoes, all from a grocery store. The total cost of his purchase was $9.63. How much money did Leyan spend on tomatoes?

Answer 1

The answer is 4.2 I did this question already

Step-by-step explanation: You multiply 2 3/4 and 1.32 and then add that to the product of the 1 1/2 peaches for 1.20 per pound, then subtract the answer from 9.63 to get the solution for x.

Answer 2

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

I think your question isn't well written and that 234 was meant to be 2.34 and 112 was meant to be 1.12

Let the amount spent on tomatoes be x.

The information given in the question can then be used to form an equation as thus:

Apples + Peaches + Tomatoes = $9.63

(2.34 × $1.32) + (1.12 × $1.20) + x = $9.63

$3.0888 + $1.344 + x = $9.63

x = $9.63 - ($3.0888 + $1.344)

x = $9.63 - $4.4328

x = $5.1972

The amount spent on tomatoes will be $5.1972
