Answer 2

Answer:

23.35 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Kareem sold 28 pounds of tomatoes, then we first need to figure out, how much money she earned from that. That will be done by multiplying.

Since 1pound=$3

28x3=?

20x3=60

8x3=27

60+27=87

So, Kareem earned 87 dollars from selling all the tomatoes.

Now, we have to find out, how many dollars did the asparagus make for her.

That will be done by subtracting 180 by 87

180-87=?

180-80=100

100-7=93

So, the money that Kareem earned from selling all the Asparagus was $93.

Now, we have to find the amount of pounds of Asparagus did Kareem sell.

That will be done by dividing 4 by 93. (You can already say that the answer will be in decimals, or with a remainder)

93/4=

80/4=20

13/4=3.25 (since, 4x3=12, 4 parts of 100=25%, that's why that's the answer)

20+3.25=23.25

So, Kareem sold 23.25 pounds of Asparagus.

ANSWERS INFO:

Kareem earned: $180

Kareem sold pounds of tomatoes : 28

Kareem sold pounds of Asparagus : 23.25
