Given the statement:
A farmer grows 128 red tomato plants and 102 yellow tomato plants. Each plant produces about 32 tomatoes.The farmer plans to sell each tomato for $2 .
Determine the estimated amount of money that the farmer will earn.
Solution:
In order to determine the estimated amount of money, we add the total tomato plants then multiply it with 32.
= 128 + 102
= 230 tomato plants
= (230)(32)
= 7,360 tomatoes.
Multiply 7,360 tomatoes with $2 to determine the amount of money.
= (7,360)($2)
= $14,720
Final answer:
= $14,720
