Let's break down the question step by step to find the correct answers.
### Step 1: Solve \( x + y \)
Given values:
- \( x = 1 \)
- \( y = 5 \)
To find \( x + y \):
[tex]\[
x + y = 1 + 5 = 6
\][/tex]
The answer to this part is:
B. 6
### Step 2: Solve the cost problem
We have two related questions here, but some details seem to be missing for the second question. Let's clarify the second part with the information available:
#### Part 2.1: Cost of two tomatoes
Each tomato costs \( \[tex]$1.00 \) because two tomatoes cost \( \$[/tex]2.00 \) (i.e., \( 2 \times 1 = 2 \)).
#### Part 2.2: Cost of three tomatoes and one potato
We don't have the information about the cost of one potato. So, we can't solve this part definitively. However, let's assume a hypothetical cost to understand.
1. Assume:
- Cost of each tomato: \( \$1.00 \)
- Let the cost of one potato be \( P \)
Then, the total cost for three tomatoes and one potato would be:
[tex]\[
3 \times 1 + P = 3 + P
\][/tex]
Without the specific cost of the potato, we cannot determine whether option A (\(\[tex]$6.5\)) or B (\(\$[/tex]45\)) is correct.
Because we deal logically with presuming numerical results and ask for clarity or provide known assumptions, valid reasoning fits into this equation finding easier. But, with a helpful instructive method during explanation, computations are more straightforward and less complicated during the student questions.
