Answer 2

Answer:

Option C, Carina should have subtracted 3.40 from 5.27.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Convert words into an equation

Carina spent a total of $5.27 buying a pineapple for $3.40 and some tomatoes that were on sale for $0.85 per pound.

3.40 + 0.85p = 5.27

Step 2:  Solve for p

3.40 + 0.85p - 3.40 = 5.27 - 3.40

0.85p / 0.85 = 1.87 / 0.85

p = 2.2

The error was found when she add 3.40 to 5.27 instead of subtracting.

Answer:  Option C, Carina should have subtracted 3.40 from 5.27.
