Answer:
0.89
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let’s find out what one tomato costs. To do this, we need to find the unit rate.
To find the unit rate, divide the cost by the number of tomatoes.
cost/number of tomatoes
It costs $3.55 for 24 tomatoes.
cost=3.55
number of tomatoes=24
Substitute these values in.
3.55/24
0.147916666666667
Each tomato costs $0.147916666666667
Now, we have to find out what 6 tomatoes cost.
Multiply the number of tomatoes by the cost of one tomato
number of tomatoes * cost of one
number of tomatoes=6
cost of one= 0.147916666666667
Substitute these values in.
6* 0.147916666666667
0.8875
Round to the nearest cent or hundredth.
The 7 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 8 in the hundredth place up to a 9.
0.89
6 tomatoes will cost about 0.89.
