Question

Mallory goes to the farmers market every weekend. She buys six apples for $0.75 each and a bagful of oranges that are priced at $1.25 per orange. The total charge is $14.50. Write the equation representing this situation where n represents the number of oranges. + n = Mallory purchased oranges.

Answer 1

6×0.75+1.25×n=Mallory

Answer 2

Answer: 4.50+1.25n=8

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract 4.50 from both sides of the equation which would leave 1.25n=10

then divide 1.25 from 1.25n and 10

n=8
