A farmer at a local market sells much of his produce for $1.50 per pound. A customer first select eggplant, spinach, and red-leaf lettuce, for a total cost of $12.00. This indecisive customer then asks to leave off the lettuce, for a total of $10.50. Then the customer finally puts the lettuce back in and removes half of the eggplants and pays a total of $8.25.
Your assignment:
1. Explain out how many pounds of each vegetable did the customer take
home by as many different ways as possible.
Explain each method clearly. You get extra points for each different method.
