Pt. 1- Write an algebraic expression that Marshall can use to determine the total cost of buying
a watermelon that
Watermelons
weighs w pounds and
$0.68 per lo
some tomatoes that
weigh t pounds. How
Tomatoes
$3.25 per lb
much will it cost to
buy a watermelon that
weighs 182 pounds
and 5 pounds of
tomatoes?

Pt. 2 - How much will it all cost?

The answer is that the cost will be a total of $142.05. That is $125.80 for Watermelon that weighs 185 lbs and $16.25 for 5 lbs of tomatoes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Watermelons are .68 / lb and tomatoes are 3.25 / lb.

Let w = watermelon weight and tomato weight.

An equation would be:

.68w + 3.25t = Total cost

For 185 lb of Watermelon and 5 lbs of tomatoes:

.68(185) + 3.25(5) =

$125.80 + $16.25 = $142.05

(Hope this helps. Btw, I am the first to answer!!)
