Emily stopped at a produce stand to buy some tomatoes. tomatoes cost $1.25 per pound at the stand. emily bought 5 tomatoes that weighed 1.8 pounds in total. how much did emily pay for the tomatoes

Well if its 1.25 per pound... and if there are 5 tomatoes total that weigh 1.80 lb... Then you would do the following:
1.25 (price per pound) multiplied by 1.80 (total of pounds) Then that equals out to a total of: 2.25
So, that would be your total.  2.25

Hope this helps! :)
