Question #1 The chef went back to the farmer’s market to buy more ingredients.
She bought 18 cucumbers, 6 peppers, and 28 tomatoes at the
farmer’s market. How much does she spend?

Show your work below:

Step 1:
Set proportions:
6 cucumbers
2 dollars
= 18
x
=6x ÷ 36 =x=$16
12 peppers
9 dollars
= 6x =12x ÷ 54 =x=$4.5
6 tomatoes
4 dollars
= 28
x
=6x ÷ 112 =x=$14
Step 2:
add:
16+4.5+14
= $34.5
Answer: The chef spent $24.5. I know this because first i setted up
the proportions for each item then cross multiplied after that i
divided to get the variable which equals the total for each item, then
I added the total prices of all the items and got $34.5.
