Question

Jorge is making 6 large salads and 4 small salads. Each large salad needs 10 cherry tomatoes and each small salad needs 6 cherry tomatoes. How many cherry tomatoes does Jorge need?

Answer 1

Answer:  Jorge needs a total of 84 cherry tomatoes.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Jorge  is making 6 large salads and 4 small salads. Each large salad needs 10 cherry tomatoes and each small salad needs 6 cherry tomatoes.

We are to find the total number of cherry tomatoes that Jorge need.

Since each large salad needs 10 cherry tomatoes, so the number of cherry tomatoes needed for 6 large salads is given by

$CT_l=6\times10=60.$

Similarly, each small salad needs 6 cherry tomatoes, so the number of cherry tomatoes needed for 4 small salads is given by

$CT_s=4\times6=24.$

Therefore, the total number of cherry tomatoes that Jorge need will be

$CT_l+CT_s=60+24=84.$

Thus, Jorge needs a total of 84 cherry tomatoes.

Answer 2

6large salads x 10 cherry tomatoes
4 small salads x 6 cherry tomatoes

60 + 24 tomatoes
84 total
