Carina spent a total of $5.27 buying a pineapple for $3.40 and some 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.

3.40 + 0.85 x = 5.27. 0.85 x = 8.67. x = 10.2 pounds.

Where, if anywhere, did Carina make an error?
Carina did not make any errors.
The initial equation that Carina wrote was incorrect.
Carina should have subtracted 3.40 from 5.27.
Carina should have divided 8.67 by 0.85.

step-by-step explanation:

part a: triangles gcb and epb

part b. sides cg and rp are parallel by definition of parallelogram.

angles cgb and e are congruent by being alternate interior angles of parallel lines cut by a transversal. angles gbc and ebp are congruent because they are vertical angles. by aa similarity, the triangles are similar.

part c. since the triangles are similar, the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal.

calculation of be:

gb/be = cb/bp

(400 ft)/be = 300/200

(400 ft)/be = 3/2

3be = 2 * 400 ft

3be = 800 ft

be = 800/3 ft

calculation of pe:

gc/pe = cb/bp

(350 ft)/pe = 300/200

(350 ft)/pe = 3/2

3pe = 2 * 350 ft

3pe = 700 ft

pe = 700/3 ft
