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.

$30.32

step-by-step explanation:

65.00*.12=2.80

65.00-2.80=57.20

57.20*1.06=60.632

60.632/2=30.316
