The mistake that Carina made is she should have subtracted 3.40 from 5.27.

How many pounds of tomatoes was bought?

 The equation that represents the total amount spent is: $5.27 = $3.40 + $0.85x

In order to determine the value of x, take the following steps:

  • Combine similar terms: 5.27 - 3.40 = 0.85
  • Add similar terms: 1.87 = 0.85x
  • Divide both sides of the equation by 0.85: 2.2 pounds
