Question

Nine tomato plants cost $45. What is the cost of 1 tomato plant?

$3

$5

$6

$9

Answer 1

One tomato plant costs $5

Answer 2

B) $5

Explanation:

The formula for price per quantity is :
`(amount)/(quantity)`

To work out the cost of one tomato you would need to divide the amount of 45 by the quantity of 9, this gives you $5. This is because by dividing the amount by the quantity we are breaking it down to find the price of 1.

1) Divide 45 by 9.

`45/9=5`
