The variable p represents "a number of packages" as indicated by the problem statement.

Answer: The variable 'p' represents "weight of each package ".

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total pounds of tomatoes in a package = 214

Cost of each package = $4.45

Let the weight of each package be 'p'.

According to question,

[tex]4.45\times p=Cost\\\\4.45p=Cost[/tex]

Hence, the variable 'p' represents "weight of each package ".
