Question

Mia by eight apples and four mangoes for $.34 find the cost of single apples

Answer 1

Given:

Isabella bought 2 apples and 4 mangoes for 28 cents. Mia bought 8 apples and 4 mangoes for 34 cents.

Required:

We need to find the cost of single apple.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all let assume a as a apple and m as a mango so now the equations are as

`\begin{gathered} 2a+4m=28 \\ 8a+4m=34 \end{gathered}`

now use substitution method

`4m=28-2a`

put this in another equation and we get

`\begin{gathered} 8a+28-2a=34 \\ 6a=6 \\ a=1 \end{gathered}`

Final answer:

So the cost for single apple is 1 cent.
