Carina spent a total of $5.27 buying a pineapple for $3.40 and some tomatoes that were on sale for $0.85 per pound. To determine the number of pounds of tomatoes that she bought, x, Carina wrote and solved the equation as shown below.

3.40 + 0.85 x = 5.27. 0.85 x = 8.67. x = 10.2 pounds.

Where, if anywhere, did Carina make an error?
Carina did not make any errors.
The initial equation that Carina wrote was incorrect.
Carina should have subtracted 3.40 from 5.27.
Carina should have divided 8.67 by 0.85.

Option C, Carina should have subtracted 3.40 from 5.27.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Convert words into an equation

Carina spent a total of $5.27 buying a pineapple for $3.40 and some tomatoes that were on sale for $0.85 per pound.

3.40 + 0.85p = 5.27

Step 2:  Solve for p

3.40 + 0.85p - 3.40 = 5.27 - 3.40

0.85p / 0.85 = 1.87 / 0.85

p = 2.2

The error was found when she add 3.40 to 5.27 instead of subtracting.

 Option C, Carina should have subtracted 3.40 from 5.27.

1/3

step-by-step explanation:

to find this, you can divide 12 by 4 which is 3 or you can multiply 4 until you reach 12 (4x3=12). both should give you 3, meaning theres three times less bananas than there are oranges.
