Question:
If Nate goes to Lowe's and buys 8 Tomato plants which cost 3.98 plus tax is it worth his investment?
Answer:
8 Tomato plants times 3.98 = $31.84 + sales tax 6.5% = $33.91
Nate harvests 128 ounces of Tomatoes = 8lbs.
Price per pound $4.24 Yikes!
Lesson: Keep watering your tomatoe plants, keep harvesting, and plant 2nd generation tomatoes from the seeds of the 1st generation tomatoes and watch the price per ounce continue to fall.
Nate-
P.S. I hope Mrs. McDonald my 10th grade math teacher gets a chance to read this post.
