Abby bought 4 kilograms of heirloom tomatoes, 2.4 kilograms of cherry tomatoes, and 5 kilograms of roma tomatoes. How much did she spend?
vine-ripened tomatoes $3.00 per kg
roma tomatoes $1.80 per kg
cherry tomatoes $1.40 per kg
pear tomatoes $1.61 per kg
heirloom tomatoes $1.73 per kg
First, we need to calculate the total cost for each type of tomatoes:
For heirloom tomatoes:
4 kg * $1.73/kg = $6.92
For cherry tomatoes:
2.4 kg * $1.40/kg = $3.36
For roma tomatoes:
5 kg * $1.80/kg = $9.00
Now, we add up the total cost for each type of tomato:
$6.92 + $3.36 + $9.00 = $19.28
Therefore, Abby spent $19.28 in total on the tomatoes.
