Question

Based on the information below, how many peppers could you buy for $20? (Round your answer to a whole number)

The local Farm Market sells peppers at five for $2.25.

Answer 1

Answer:

44 peppers can be bought for $20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The local farm market sells 5 peppers for $2.25

Unit rate = $\frac{2.25}{5}$

Unit rate = $0.45

We have to find the number of peppers we can buy with $20.

Let,

p be the number of peppers.

0.45p = 20

Dividing both sides by 0.45

$\frac{0.45p}{0.45}=\frac{20}{0.45}$

p = 44.44

Rounding to nearest whole number

p = 44

Hence,

44 peppers can be bought for $20.
