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?

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.

I cannot see pictures, so I will explain how to find slope, so you can do it on your own.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find 2 coordinates on the line.

Ex: (2,3) and (4,6)

Subtract the y-coords and x-coords from each other and divide.

6-3 = 3

4-2 = 2

3/2

So the example slope is 3/2.

The 3 represents the rise, and 2 represents the run.
