What expression is equivalent to the total cost for Farmer McHenry to sell his tomatoes at the farmer's market? What expression is equivalent to the money he will make if t represents the number of tomatoes he sells? How many tomatoes must he sell so that the cost equals the money made from sales?
The total cost that farmer McHenry assumes to sell his tomatoes at the farmer´s market includes: the gas, the stand and the price tags. The expression is the following:
Total cost = $2,50 + $1 + $0.50

To know how many tomatoes, he must sell so that the cost equals his revenue, you must equal both expressions and then find t:
Let's find how much bacteria it grows per hour. 2400 - 2000 = 400 bacteria per (divided by) hour 400/6 = 66.7 After 16 hours... 66.7 x 16 = 1067.2 Plus the original amount of bacteria 1067.2 + 2400 = 3467.2
