Question

How many pounds of corn can you buy if your total spending cash is $11.61 and tomatoes are selling for $1.29 per pound and corn is selling for $3.25 per pound and you buy 6 pounds of tomatoes?

Answer 1

`11.61 = 6(1.29) + 3.25x`

`=> 11.61 = 7.74 + 3.25x`

`=> 11.61 - 7.74 = 3.25x`

`=> 3.87 = 3.25x`

`=> 3.87/3.25 = x`

`=> ~1.20 = x`
