Jonathan pays $1.90 per pound for potatoes. He buys 8.3 pounds of potatoes. He determines that he will pay $15.77, before tax, for the potatoes. Which best describes the reasonableness of Jonathan’s solution?

Respuesta :

The equation for this problem would be 15.77=1.90 times 8.3, as Jonathan buys 8.3 pounds of potatoes and one pound is $1.90. To get the entire cost without the tax, you have to include how much the entire quantity of the product costs, not just part of it.

The correct answer is C.

Jonathan’s answer is reasonable because 2 times 8 is 16, and 16 is close to 15.77.

Hope this helps.
