She bought a total of 3 pounds of bell pepper

How to determine the total pounds of bell pepper

The amount spent is given as:

Red bell pepper = $2.90

Green bell pepper = $1.90

The price per pound for both type of pepper is given as:

Rate = $1.60 per pound

So, the total pound is calculated as:

Pound = Total amount / Rate

This gives

[tex]Pound = \frac{2.90 + 1.90}{1.60}[/tex]

Evaluate the sum

[tex]Pound = \frac{4.80}{1.60}[/tex]

Divide

[tex]Pound = 3[/tex]

Hence, she bought a total of 3 pounds of bell pepper
