Answer 1

Answer:

The price of tomato per pound is $1.36

Step-by-step explanation:

Jordan has $5.37.

He is buying one red pepper for $1.29

He is also buying three pounds of tomatoes.

If he has exactly the right amount of money he needs, then

5.37 = 1.29 + 3x

Where x is the price of tomato per pound

And( 5.37 = 1.29 + 3x) is the equation to solve for x

5.37 = 1.29 + 3x

5.37-1.29 = 3x

4.08 = 3x

4.08/3 = x

1.36 = x

The price of tomato per pound is $1.36

To verify it again..

3*1.36 + 1.29

= 4.08 +1.29

= 5.37 ( which is the initial total amount)
