0.89

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find out what one tomato costs. To do this, we need to find the unit rate.

To find the unit rate, divide the cost by the number of tomatoes.

cost/number of tomatoes

It costs $3.55 for 24 tomatoes.

cost=3.55

number of tomatoes=24

Substitute these values in.

3.55/24

0.147916666666667

Each tomato costs $0.147916666666667

Now, we have to find out what 6 tomatoes cost.

Multiply the number of tomatoes by the cost of one tomato

number of tomatoes * cost of one

number of tomatoes=6

cost of one = 0.147916666666667

Substitute these values in.

6 * 0.147916666666667

0.8875

Round to the nearest cent or hundredth.

The 7 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 8 in the hundredth place up to a 9.

0.89

6 tomatoes will cost about 0.89.
