Respuesta :

Answer:

the  money spend on tomatoes is $4.20

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the money spend on tomatoes is shown below

Let the money spend on tomatoes be x

So

[tex]2 \frac{3}{4} \times \$1.32 + 1\frac{1}{2} \times \$1.20 + x = \$9.63\\\\[/tex]

$3.63 + $1.80  + x = $9.63

x = $9.63 - $3.63 + $1.80

= $4.20

Hence, the  money spend on tomatoes is $4.20
