See comment for complete question

Given

[tex]P \to Potato[/tex]

[tex]C \to Carrot[/tex]

[tex]3P + 2C = 5.08[/tex]

[tex]P = 1.24[/tex]

Required

[tex]12P + 1\frac{1}{2}C = ??[/tex]

First, we solve for C

Substitute [tex]P = 1.24[/tex] in [tex]3P + 2C = 5.08[/tex]

[tex]3 * 1.24 + 2C = 5.08[/tex]

[tex]3.72 + 2C = 5.08[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]2C = 5.08 - 3.72[/tex]

[tex]2C = 1.36[/tex]

Solve for C

[tex]C = \frac{1.36}{2}[/tex]

[tex]C = 0.68[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P = 1.24[/tex]

[tex]C = 0.68[/tex]

[tex]12P + 1\frac{1}{2}C = ??[/tex] becomes

[tex]12P + 1\frac{1}{2}C = 12*1.24 + 1\frac{1}{2}*0.68[/tex]

[tex]12P + 1\frac{1}{2}C = 14.88 + 1.02[/tex]

[tex]12P + 1\frac{1}{2}C = 15.90[/tex]
