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 two dollars. explain how to find a reasonable estimate for the total amount of money the farmer will earn if she sells all of the tomatoes.

$14,720

Step-by-step explanation:

Farmer grows 128 red tomato plants and 102 yellow tomato plants.

Each plant produces about 32 tomatoes.

If the farmer plans to sell each tomato for 2 dollars.

The estimate for the total amount of money she would earn if she sells all the tomatoes

= 2(128 × 32) + 2(102 × 32)

= 2(4096) + 2(3264)

= 8192 + 6528

= $14720

She would earn $14,720 if she sells all of the tomatoes.

this was already solved by me with a different person. if you look it up in the search bar at the top of the page, you will get the answer.

step-by-step explanation:

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
