Answer:

11 potatoes

Explanation:

The local farm market sold pedro 15 potatoes for 12.75.

So price for 1 potato = 12.75/15 = 0.85

For $10, you can buy 10/0.85 = 11.76 ~11 potatoes

Answer:

Cost of 15 Potatoes = 12.75

Therefore, Cost of 1 potatos = 12.75/15

Cost of 1 potatos = 0.85

We have been asked to find the number of potatoes we could buy for 10 .

No. of potatoes = 10/0.85

No. of Potatoes = 11.76

No. of Potatoes = 11.76 ≈ 12

So, we can buy 12 potatoes ( approx) .
