Answer:

2.2 pounds of tomatoes are bought

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount spent = $5.27

Amount spent on buying pineapple = $3.40

Amount spent on buying tomatoes = total amount - amount of pineapple

= 5.27 - 3.40 = 1.87

Let x be the number of pounds of tomatoes bought

1 pound of tomato = $0.85

x pounds of tomato= 0.85x

0.85x = 1.87

Divide both sides by 0.85

x= 2.2

2.2 pounds of tomatoes are bought

Answer:

d = 1 + 3p  

Step-by-step explanation:

Leon already ran 1 miles on his own and he is expected to cover a distance d of 3 miles during each practice. The number of practices is expressed as p and the distance covered is expressed as d.

For every track practice he is expected to cover a distance of 3 miles. Recall he has already cover 1 mile on his own.

Therefore, the relationship between the practices p and the distance d can be expressed as follows.

number of track practice = p

distance covered = d

The distance covered  d in miles is 1 miles plus the number of track practice p multiply by 3

d = 1 + 3p

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

b(x) = 1,000 * 2.15^x

Step-by-step explanation:

1,000 represents the intial colony size. An increase of 115% correlates to multiplying the said size by 2.15 to the power of the hours elapsed.

Common error: The factor is 2.15 and not 1.15 as an increase of 100% is doubling the amount. i.e. if the increase was 15%, we would multiply by 1.15.
