Question

Graham spent a total of $15.05 on 10 apples and a packet of strawberries. If a packet of strawberries cost $2.55, how much did each apple cost? 15.05*10 + 2.55

Answer 1

Answer: $1.25

Explanation:

Given

Graham spends a total of $15.05 on 10 apples and a packet of strawberries

Cost of strawberries packet $2.55

Suppose the cost of each apple is x

So,
`10x+2.55=15.05`

On solving

`\Rightarrow10x=15.05-2.55\\\Rightarrow10x=12.5\\\Rightarrowx=(12.5)/(10)=\$1.25`

The cost of each apple is $1.25
