Question

Eyan 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 money spend on tomatoes is $4.20

Explanation:

The computation of the money spend on tomatoes is shown below

Let the money spend on tomatoes be x

So

`2 (3)/(4) * \$1.32 + 1(1)/(2) * \$1.20 + x = \$9.63\\\\`

$3.63 + $1.80 + x = $9.63

x = $9.63 - $3.63 + $1.80

= $4.20

Hence, the money spend on tomatoes is $4.20
