HURRY !!! Farmer McHenry is going to sell his tomatoes at the farmer's market. It costs Farmer McHenry $2.50 in gas, $1 for the stand, and $0.50 for price tags. Farmer McHenry is going to sell his tomatoes for $0.50 each. What expression is equivalent to the total cost for Farmer McHenry to sell his tomatoes at the farmer's market? What expression is equivalent to the money he will make if t represents the number of tomatoes he sells? How many tomatoes must he sell so that the cost equals the money made from sales?

The total cost that farmer McHenry assumes to sell his tomatoes at the farmer´s market includes: the gas, the stand and the price tags. The expression is the following:

Total cost = $2,50 + $1 + $0.50

Total cost = $4

Farmer McHenry's revenue depends on the number of tomatoes he sells:

Revenue (t)= Price* t

Revenue (t)= $0.50(t)

To know how many tomatoes, he must sell so that the cost equals his revenue, you must equal both expressions and then find t:

$4=$0.50 (t)

t= $4/$0.50

t= 8

He must sell 8 tomatoes.

Answer: 8 tomatoes

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to calculate the cost we have to add the cost of gas (2.50), stand (1) and price tags (0.50)

Cost = 2.50+1+0.50 = $4

The money he will make is equal to the number of tomatoes sold (t) multiplied by the price of each one.(0.50)

Revenue = t 0.50

For the cost to equal the money made:

4= 0.50t

t = 4/0.50 = 8 tomatoes
