Carina spent a total of $5.27 buying a pineapple for $3.40 and several pounds of tomatoes that were on sale for $0.85 per pound. to determine the number of pounds of tomatoes that she bought, x, carina wrote and solved the equation as shown below

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
