Answer 2

Answer:

No of the tomatoes the company purchased in all was 2,500.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, there were 5 shipments and 500 tomatoes in each.

Step 1:-

So if 1 shipment has 500 tomatoes,

then "n" numbers of shipments will have ( number of tomatoes in 1 shipment × "n" )  [where "n" is the number of shipment]

Step 2:-

then, 5 shipments will have ( 500 × 5 ) tomatoes,  [according to the above expression]

i.e. ⇒ 5 shipments = ( 500 × 5 ) tomatoes

                               = 2500 tomatoes

∴ The number of tomatoes, the company purchased in total was 2,500 tomatoes.
