128 red tomato
plants and 102 yellow tomato plants. Each plant produces

Answer 1

Answer: 14720 dollars, or $14720

Explanation:

128 red tomato plants plus 102 yellow tomato plants = 230 tomato plants in total.

230 plants with 32 tomatoes each = 7360 tomatoes in all

7360 x 2 dollars = 14720 dollars
