Question

a store sells 2 pounds of tamatoes for $7. write an eqaution that represents the cost, c, for ,t, pounds of tamatoes

Answer 1

Answer: c=4.5t

Step-by-step explanation: You need to first create an equation with the given information.

2t=7$

Then, we simplify the equation.

2t/2=7/2

t=4.5$

Now we know that 1 pound of tomatoes is 4.5$, and all that's left is to rewrite the equation in the way the question wants it.

t=4.5c (move the coefficient 4.5 to the other side)

4.5t=c

c=4.5t
